Hi everyone. Thinking of moving to Walthamstow with my GF, but not sure how safe the area is. Heard of some violent burglaries and muggings(we know it's east end and it's not going to be as safe as belsize park, or dulwich or the like, just want to feel a bit safe walking around at night etc)

Any help welcome!

Cheers

Can't say I know it that well, but one of my mum's friends daughters lives there and have only ever heard positive things through her. You're never going to get a completely safe area, particularly in London where you have the roughest of estates backing onto million pound masion blocks. We live in St John's Wood which is pretty posh, but were just on the border between there and Kilburn (not that great). If we turned right out of our road the houses were massive, gated, multi-million pound properties, but turn left and we hit loads of dodgy estates and high rises... go and visit the place and get a feel for it. Trust your instincts.

Good luck :thumbsup:
