Swanley

[Justee]

HI, We are planning to move to Swanley and looking for a property. We have 2 kids -4 and 1,5. The older one will start reception this year. I also will be looking for a childminder for the younger one.
My question is: are there any areas of Swanley to avoid? Any recommendable?
What about the area near Holy Apostles Church/Kettlewell Close/Leisure Centre?

Probably worth posting this in a local board. I grew up on the outskirts of Swanley so my information will be out of date and it has had a lot of investment in the town centre, but the villages on the outskirts are much nicer than the town itself - Crockenhill, Eynsford, Swanley Village etc. The ‘pinks hill’ area - Azalea drive so the Crockenhill side of the station probably one of the best parts, not sure about other parts these days.
