I've been here for about ten years now and basically I would simply say that SE23 is a place to make a home.
No, it's not flashy like other bits of London but if you want somewhere decent to live with enough to make a nice evening out then it's ideal.
I often drag my friends out here to eat at local restaurants and they are always amazed at what culinary delights SE23 throws up. It's a gem of a place.
