I commented on your other post and no I wouldn’t as it’s like a waste land and the back end of nowhere

I wouldn't live there

I wouldn't.

Erith isn't ^that awful.
The houses at Erith quarry are awful though. Massively overpriced for what they are, problems with the builds already and far too many crammed in.

There are far nice areas within close proximity where you could buy a decent house for less than one of those dire overpriced boxes.

PP, Bexley borough is the birthplace of the BNP.

Worst claim to fame ever.

I was about to say that it used to be full of National Front/BNP types, but it would seem that it hasn't changed much.

I'd give it a swerve, personally.

It's not a very nice area and, as a PP said, it's Brexiteer / Tommy Robinson central. I certainly wouldn't be walking around there at 3am.

OP, as someone who knows the area very well I would not choose to move/live there.

BiBiBirdie · 14/10/2019 08:27

It's quite the area.
In that I wouldn't move there if you paid me.
There's a reason it's reasonable price wise.
I wouldn't want to be in Central London either but Erith is not great.

Ive always thought it was a bit racist and very brexit
