I have lived on Brockley Rise one way system for all my life so far so your talking nearly 24years.

I like it here and hate it at same time. This is just my opinion remember.

Reasons I like it -

HOP and Crofton stations both 5mins walk away and get me to very handy places ie HOP to Canada Water for onward connections or Croydon and Crofton Park for Bromley or Blackfriars.

Brockley Supermarket such a friendly place and always handy to buy stuff fairly late.

Budgens again handy and friendly for late night shop he is open til 10pm 7days a week!!

Hills and Parkes new deli - lovely staff and selection of fresh food.

Brockley Jack pub - quiz night on thurs and sunday.

Jam Circus and The Honor Oak good pubs.

Good bus routes - I often take the 171 and 172 to go central London - on a good day takes 40mins on a bad just over an hour but cheaper than train.

Plenty of parks in walking distance - Blythe Hill, One Tree Hill, Hilly Fields, Ravensbourne Park and Ladywell Park.

Ok now bad things -

The Chandos pub avoid like the plague.

The guy from the Honor Lee hostel constantly hanging about Brockley Supermarket for money - just ignore him I do and have done for about 7yrs or so when I first started noticing him.

Due to where I live there is an increase number of visitors to the sports ground which can be disruptive to the area on some evenings when there is a few events going on.

Other than that Brockley Rise area is brilliant and really cant see myself living anywhere else at present moment as this has been my home since I was born.
