    I think 6 years ago it was all about the scabbier bits of Zone 2 (Kentish Town, Brixton, Bethna Green were there were bargains to to be found). Those areas have seen impressive growth in sale prices, despite the overall market crash. What are the next up and coming areas?

    Shadwell, Wapping.

    Massive difference between SE and SW London.

    There are some very nice bits of SE London - Dulwich, Blackheath, and Greenwich, for example.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    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.

    I grew up in Blackheath, and went to school in Dulwich. Perfectly nice places, both of them.
