Hi all lovely people, I'm new on here peace and blessings be upon you all.

I need some advice on how the At Mary Cray area is, I would highly appreciate if anyone can honestly and genuinely give me advice and support and suggestions how to move about the as a young Muslim woman.

Is it safe ?
Is islamophobia on the rise in St Mary Cray?
Are they options for halal food and butchers ?
Are the people mostly racist or prejudice still ?

I wouldn't be having much choice then to accept the property at St Mary Cray so I'm feeling very doubtful and nervous. How people treat multicultural communities in this area?

Please give nay feedback to make me understand about the area, facts , safety tips anything would be appreciated and I would be grateful.
Thank you all for reading.

I don’t know St Mary Cray myself but bumping for you

I wouldn’t go near the Crays. Especially as a Muslim woman.

why have you decided to look there?

@boulevardofbrokendreamssShe’s obviously been given a house there by the council.

Yes you're right , that's the only reason , I didn't know it was that dangerous or bad. But I researched that the crime rates are very low. But why is everyone saying the same thing , is that bad ? If I turn it down it's my loss.

Hey OP, I don't know the area but if I were you I'd report your own post and request it be moved to Muslim MNers - it might go below the radar on this board.

The Cray areas have always been awful, can you ask for a different area?

Not sure how helpful that would be tbh as the question is more about the area.
