    Massive difference between SE and SW London.

    and there are vast swathes of the north which are just as bad as anything that the SE has to offer.

    And most of the SE isn't actually that bad.

    Area 4. South London. Never ever live here. Do not even think about buying somewhere. Unless you are a Sun toting white van man sky installer who thinks bottling someone outside of Yates' in Woolwich is high culture and when people die they go to Essex. In which case go right ahead.

    I hope this helps.

    Bit of a silly generalisation! I own 4 properties in Battersea and lived there for 10 years, it is an excellent place (for London). I only moved out because I got fed up with London and wanted to live somewhere more rural.

    Have you never been to Clapham, Battersea, Putney, Wimbledon or Richmond? There will be other decent areas too, they are just the ones I listed off the top of my head.

    Thats the thing with generalisations, they don't apply to everything.

    Generally they do. And anyone who says different is probably a white van man toting Sky watching Sun installer.

    Go on. Apart from parts of Dulwich and a bit of Brockley, I'm struggling.

    Walthamstow!

    Well, the small bit around the, ahem, 'village' area which is already inhabited by ex-Stokey/Crouch End/Finsbury Park flat dwellers who've traded up for whole houses. Good schools, good transport, affordable houses (all relatively speaking, in a London sort of way), and lots of young families who can't bear to leave London for the slow death of the no-mark commuter towns. It's an enclave at the moment but give it a decade and it'll have gone the way of Stokey before it. The Lloyd Park area is worth a look too.

    Those who don't know London will scoff but they don't know what they're talking of.
