| Description: | Over the last 10 years this place has really come up. I think not having a tube station, ironically, has something to do with it. This has allowed the area to be changed by whoever had the money (as the area was cheap!) – fortunately the people that did have the money changed it in the right way. There are many converted flats available for the young professional sector as well as the musician/arty type sector and they all mingle well at the many cafes, bars and restaurants in and around The Broadway. I think this area will be the next Camden in the next 10 years. The right people, shops and small businesses are moving in making this one of the areas to be. It is becoming a strong community and this is making it a desirable place to live. Get in quick to this area. There is a possibility of a train (or even tram) link to be built and at that point the prices will rocket. Over the long term it has one of the best chances of out performing the rest of the market as currently the prices are affordable. For an area to change its perception to outsiders takes a long time. Outsider’s perceptions are changing to the positive so I wouldn’t hang about. | |||||||
