Chiswick and Elephant and Castle.

Moved here because it was green and hilly, you get a lot for your money (and proper gardens unlike Herne Hill) and it's close to central London.

I genuinely believe our street is as nice as you'd get in any suburb of any city in the country. It is quiet, the people are friendly it's pretty. The local NatWest Manager in Sydenham once said that it's one of the few places in London which still has a community feel.

I used to look in envy at everyone elses highstreets and despair at Dartmouth Road. Now it's actually a great place to shop. A recent visitor from the states who hasn't been here for a couple of years said to me that it felt much more upmarket than on his last visit. So it's getting better all the time, schools are good and transport is brilliant (apart from the phasing on Dartmouth Road junction). I'm no longer jealous of anywhere else.
