DJF, london

Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Charming area very green and leafy no big chains and is very close to a nice park with a great view of the city and a great small church school aswell as a church just opposite. It is also near a library, a post office, a few small newsagents, supermarkets and even a swimming pool. The community is also very nice and supportive and the crime rate is low. However it is getting quite chichi as more and more high end shops are taking over the high street, whether this is a good or bad thing is up to you
