Tom Dyckhoff, who authored the article, actually lives in South East London, well just about. A little bit of cyber-stalking suggests that he lives in Borough, SE1, close to Borough High Street, and the railway line between London Bridge and Waterloo. Or at least this was his home in 2002.

Borough is a gloomy corner of South London if ever there was one, in the shadow of the Shard, and hardly able to take two steps without finding another railway line crossing over the road. And the area is completely dominated by major road and railway lines, with a major hospital and market in close proximity. A noisier spot in London would be hard to find - possibly Mayfair.

But enough criticism of a sloppy piece of journalism from somebody who is capable of much better analysis. Clearly he isn't giving much time to these weekly articles that he has needed to write for the last few years. I guess it is difficult to find new things to say about places when you are down to the 200th 'place to move to'.

On a more positive note, I got to speak to lots of people at yesterday's food fair and was impressed with how many people in their 20s and 30s do appear to have recently moved to Forest Hill. Others were visiting and planning to move here soon.
