Penge is not a dodgy area! i go there all the time
there is not a pub in Penge thats intimidating - i have seen far worse behaviour in forest hill!
lets face it the Capitol is not exactly upmarket
Penge has a good community spirit most people seem to know each
other and the Salvation Army shop in Maple Road does a wonderful
job of bringing the community (particularly the elderly) together

Forest Hill could learn a lot from Penge the street drinkers have been disbanded but they were'nt that much of a problem Sydenham is
probably worse for that sort of behaviour
