Hi all,
Recently relocated to London to my husband's flat near the Blackheath area.
We are considering to move though and have our eye on Canada Water because we see a larger Asian/Oriental community there with mixed kids too (I am Asian), its nearer on the tube to the city and it seems a bit more compact in terms of amenities (all just concentrated in the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre). The thing I find about Blackheath is it's always a bus ride somewhere. Even if we drive (we don't have a car atm), I observe there's always heavy traffic going into the village on weekends anyway.
We are now expecting a baby next summer.
And wherever I look, I keep hearing that Blackheath/Greenwich is wonderful for kids, babies, sahms (which I may become). Maybe its winter, I've just moved here and I haven't really noticed this. We have a couple of my husband's friends in this area but none have kids.
What would you think? For family life/schools/babies, would you look to move elsewhere in Blackheath (maybe walking distance closer to the village and then commute via the National Rail) or Greenwich (I find the bit near North Greenwich quite colourless though), or start up again in Canada Water? How's Canada Water for babies/sahms/kids?
Any kind insight you can give would be helpful.
Thank you!
