Sad times.
How grim does the area look though? I’m not excusing anything but it’s well known when a place looks bleak and hostile crime increases. And that area is straight out of the darkest days of the 70s.
Windswept, offputting, cold, and all round rubbish design.
Much like most of London. Sad place to live and getting worse by the day.
Ridiculous comment, houses in this area can sell for over a million. It’s no particular area, it’s just an unfortunate particular kind of scum society.
Alice my nieces and nephew have been in Briset Road Park playing on the swingsduring the day where youths have been smoking drinking and swearing. Not a nice park at all. None of the street lights located in the park work at night either.
