You are being very unfair about Woolwich.
........But then I guess people were talking about Hoxton like that a few years back and you cant afford a ex LA there now.
Well i dont know Woolwich very well, but was in Hoxton last year (i think?) and MAN ALIVE was it a !!!! hole!
Tbh i dont like London in general, but it's been a while since I felt so unsafe walking down the street after midnight.. Was a relief to get back to the Hotal.
(Like i said, i dont know London well - The above assumes Hoxton being where the Hoxton Hotel is to the East of Old Street tube station.)0 -
You are being very unfair about Woolwich. It is NOT the worse place to live in the developed world ... Its being completely regenerated, cranes and rebuilding going on in the town centre.
It's going to be a building site for years to come - there is a whole page of compulsory purchase notices in the current issue of the NewsShopper.YouGov: £50 and £50 and £5 Amazon voucher received;
PPI successfully reclaimed: £7,575.32 (Lloyds TSB plc); £3,803.52 (Egg card); £3,109.88 (Egg loans)0 -
