Anerley & Penge - don't live there
Finally I've moved from the Penge area back into South Norwood, thank God. Penge (and the adjoining Anerley) are both really a black hole in the brightness that is the South East of London. While it's not exactly Brixton or Thornton Heath in general shittyness, it isn't far off. With chavvy teenagers racing their cars down the streets, idiot kids (who should be doing their homework) roaming round the streets doing nothing in particular (especially in the evening), work-shy twats who should be looking for work, not going to the corner shop to buy 12 cans of White Star and dumbass tenants who despite been told that their music is too loud continue to play it loud anyway and pollute the airspace with their shitty brand of music, who in the hell would want to willingly live in these areas? It's a shame, especially as you have Sydenham (the Crystal Palace part) next door, which is not bad and Beckenham, again next door, which is a visually nicer area to live in. It seems that Penge and Anerley are the repository for idiotic scum losers to live in. Be warned!
