Agreed, Colin. Attractive, tree-lined High Road (not Street :)), pleasant green spaces, easy-on-the eye architecture, low rise, some great restaurants, plus river walks, easy to get both into Central London and to the countryside, pleasant atmosphere - there aren't a lot of London suburbs that match. Although admittedly it doesn't have the buzz of somewhere like Islington and is lacking in some shopping - eg department store - I still think it is one of the nicest, and also one of the safest, parts of London to live in. |
