Best website to find out what an area is like (London suburbs)

Hi everyone. Does anyone know of websites which give you the lowdown on what certain (London) suburbs are like? I already know about UpMyStreet and Knowhere, but they don't quite fit the bill. We live in a north-west London suburb but are thinking about moving a bit further out (better value)
Thanks
Louise

    London is definately one of those places where, if you post up your postcode on this board, you will be inundated with opinion from people who actually know the name of your local fried chicken shop. Tell us where and watch the debate begin!

    Even without the postcode, I'll take a punt at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    If you live in Harlesden I can see why you want to get out. Good luck.
