We are currently looking at buying somewhere around the SE23 and nearby area and one place that we keep seeing properties is around the bottom of Perry Rise/Perry Hill, near the giant Sainsbury's. But I need to commute into London every day and am worried about the reliability of buses up to the station - either Catford or Forest Hill. I'd be travelling in rush hour and the buses up to FH look pretty infrequent. The buses up to Catford look more regular but one failed to turn up in the middle of the day by Bell Green the other day so I'm dubious.
What have other people's experiences been?
Any other thoughts about living down there? It's cheaper, but is that because the public transport doesn't work or is it for other reasons?
