My partner and I are starting to do house viewings in Greenwich and would love any info on the areas!

We’d love to live by Cutty Sark (big dreams I know) but our affordability is pushing us slightly out of the main area. We’ve found some gorgeous houses that would fit our needs in Charlton/Blackheath/Kidbrook/Deptford but we don’t know the areas at all and don’t want to risk moving somewhere run down / unclean streets / high crime.

We’re looking for a nice neighbourhood, friendly people, close to the fun but somewhere my partner won’t have to collect me from the station every day in the winter in fear of me getting home safe (he briefly lived in Tottenham so the fear is justified).

Any knowledge on the areas is welcome! We’re a couple in our late 20’s looking for somewhere close to the fun, days out but also peaceful evenings in. Thanks!
