It may not look too pleasant around the tube, but walk for 3/4
minutes to the residential streets and the houses are ideal for
first time buyers and the streets are quiet.
Shad Thames - London SE1, SE16
A forgotten area after the docks declined in the 1970's, now rejuvenated
with riverside flats and apartments and the arrival of the Jubilee
Line. Trendy bars, restaurants and shops lie east of Tower Bridge
in Shad Thames. Rotherhithe remains the focus for much of the
riverside development. Plush apartments and converted warehouses
draw the attentions of the city set, whilst Bermondsey still retains

of smart shops and restaurants.

reside in the roads behind.
St Pauls Cray - BR5
St. Paul's Cray is largely council maintained although, as you

properties become abundant along wide tree lined roads, the grandest
of which can be found along Marlings Park Avenue and the main
Orpington Road.

properties in wide tree lined streets.
