Coulsdon

I'm thinking of renting a property in Coulsdon.

What is the train service like to and from London? Frequent?

Do trains only arrive and depart from London Bridge or other stations too?

Will my Pay As You Go Oyster card work to and from Coulsdon? I have a Young Person's card attached to my Oyster Card so am I right in thinking if I depart after 9.30am the maximium it'll cost me is £4.20 when taking the 1/3 discount into account?

What is Coulsdon like as an area? Good pubs, restaurants, clubs?

Thanks :j

    You're young, you have a Young Person's Railcard. You don't want to live in Coulsdon. The train is slow and no, you won't be able to use your Oyster card.
