People have friends and relatives living nearby and there are many children.
Half of the residents walk to work. A special privilege considering that the average Londoner spends over 40 minutes getting to work on crowded buses and tubes.
40% of the residents do most of their shopping in the area.
What people like about the area:
‘its cheap’ ‘central location’ ‘nothing’
‘its near work’ ‘freedom’ ‘community’
