Moved to FH 2.5 years ago from Weybridge, yes its different there is more of a mix of people but overall its great. Access to London night life and rsstsurants is easy with the Overground, people say hello and whilst some areas of housing are less than desirable it is improving and I think will continue to fo so.
Sadly for some the price of housing both to buy and rent will change the demographics as has happened in other parts of London. Being an Eastender some 50 years ago I would never have believed that a house in Bow would ever be worth a£1M+ :-)
