Crystal Palace

[brighton terra]

Me and Mrs BT are looking to relocate to London from Dorset. Crystal Palace looks to have a villagey atmoshere and is fairly good value for money, but I just can't bring myself to consider it as an option given the historic links to the football club; even though it has been based in Selhurst for many a year. Am I being irrational, or is the possible prospect of them returning to Crystal Palace too big a risk to take!?

Why the he'll are you considering moving to South London?

[sod1]

[driller]

Go to black Heath if you like village atmosphere

Trust me it's not all it's cracked up to be....plus I've spent the last 3 years commuting to Greenwich I can't deal with it anymore. We'd like to move to Teddington or Richmond but there aren't many decent places within our budget.

Good call, but again it is a bit pricey....unless you venture towards Lee or Charlton.

if your budget stretches to consider Richmond, check Sutton, or for villagy feel, Carshalton.

Both are a bit too 'suburban' for my liking.

falmer? ...oh wait

I hope you're joking . I grew up in dulwich just down the road and crystal palace is pretty rough . It has improved a lot but it certainly isn't like a village .

We've spent this year trying to move to Dorset, sadly to no avail.
Although the plus side is we are now proud owners of Falmer season tickets.

I was brought up around St Paul's Cray and St Mary's Cray - don't know how much it's changed but might be worth a look and would have thought the prices were comparable
