Where is nicest to live in South East London?

Hi there,

Please help! My fella and I are buying a house - we currently live in Lewisham and want to move to a nearby area.

Although we'd love to live in Greenwich/Blackheath, on our budget we are looking more at Mottingham, Grove Park, Hither Green and even Bromley.

Which of those are the nicest areas - in terms of being able to walk home at night and feel comfortable?

At the moment, in Lewisham, we feel fairly safe, even though it has a bit of a reputation.

Also which are the best for transport links to London Bridge?

Are there any other areas in South East London/Kent that you think are nice and good for getting into the centre?

Thank you!
