The good areas of the Docklands

Even down murder mile?

Yeah it's fine down there. The wife lived there for about 4 years and didn't have a single problem. You're ok if you keep your eyes open anywhere.

I expect you have been a victim of crime, easy target and all that.

Nah never. Some bloke tried to mug me when I was drunk in Camden once, but I punched him and he ran off. Hope I broke his nose - felt like it.

And...

Have you been burgled, has anyone you know near by been. Have you been a victim of crime?

I have been held at knife point twice, mugged by a gang once and been a victim in an armed robbery, none of that in this country though. I would not buy at street level in BG, but I think apartments are still safe. I walk around a lot at night and have not been done in in BG

Is it safe to walk down alleyways at night?

Where the **** is it safe to walk down alleyways at night? People who walk in dark secluded areas at night, in any major urban area are stupid.

Has anyone been murdered in the local area in the last 6 months?

I bet many people have been murdered in my local area in the past 6 months. Most are probably gang/drug related so it does not really bother me



To sum it up. If you want to live in a leafy safe suburb becuase you have children or becuase you are scared of crime go for it. If you have to spend three hours every day commuting, thats the price you pay. If you want to live in the city , and any urban area you take the good with the bad, and that includes increased crime

If you only did it a couple of years ago....

Not sure though it's a great place to live but anyway, is central, close to work for you (I imagine), so guess not so bad afterall...

What are you buying - a mailbox?

[Mailman]

What are you buying - a mailbox?

No, cant afford a mailbox. Have to make do with the pole!

BTW, Canary Wharf is a fine area to live as long as you live on the waterfront. Step back a street and you are in to council housing!

The sooner the poor and lower classes are priced out of the area the better!
