I've been on this side of the tracks for a while and it's definitely got better over the years. It is fairly quiet - I work from home, and there is rarely any noise outside. There's some commercial traffic using the side streets as a cut through between Brockley Rise and the Malham industrial estate, but no worse than a lot of other places.

Lots of Victorian property from Bovill Road north to Honor Oak Park, more post-war to the south. Few minutes walk to HOP station and One Tree Hill for the green space.

As well as the Honor Oak parade shops (incl. a small Sainsburys), there's the Railway Telegraph, the Honor Oak, Babur and Le Querce - all highly recommended, and the General Napier (for a reminder of how pubs used to be).
