I still say the people are friendly but lock up your bike (better still, get a fold up one and take it with you, our council flats are tiny and only fold up bikes will fit in).

Anyway, be nice to the original poster, I might be marrying him to one of my friends if all goes to plan...]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138901#msg-138901 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 23:05:57 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138897#msg-138897 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Julia7239) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138897#msg-138897 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 22:07:44 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138886#msg-138886 forum@london-se1.co.uk (aoibhneas) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138886#msg-138886 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 17:34:39 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138883#msg-138883 forum@london-se1.co.uk (theedy) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138883#msg-138883 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 14:39:25 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138878#msg-138878 forum@london-se1.co.uk (boomshake)
?

i think the unfortunate part of this forum is that all threads seemed to get hijacked by liberals, where everything is hunky dory and everyone gets along famously..


i am sure the council estate is fine, but as we all know se1 has youth problems, lack of respect,bike theft, petty theft, violence and break ins are common place, i do not know one person who has not been affected by it..

so you pay your money you take your chance, most of london is like this...

until someone tackles the poor state of education and lack of opportunity it will continue,,

but of course someone will post the opposite.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138878#msg-138878 Sat, 16 Apr 2011 14:05:38 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138875#msg-138875 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Julia7239)

We do have crime issues in Waterloo, but it's more about drinking, crime around the station like pick pocketing and bike theft (we're fourth highest or something ridiculous like that).

It's a great place to live, you are fine buying here.

You might want to rephrase your question a little if you want to get helpful, supportive answers - we are an inclusive community and participants in this forum live in all types of housing, including (gasp) council estates.

People quite understandably get a little upset when sweeping statements and generalisations are made, even where there is no intent to cause offence.

I'm sure members of the forum will be happy to respond to a general enquiry about local crime and safety in Waterloo, though, and will look forward to welcoming you to the neighbourhood if you choose to move here.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138782#msg-138782 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 23:20:05 +0100 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138781#msg-138781 forum@london-se1.co.uk (shunting123)
I noticed a couple of houses for sale on and near Roupell Street in Waterloo.

Can I ask, given all the council estates nearby, would it be safe living in one of these? I realize the neighborhood overall is fine; I'm just concerned about being in a house (as opposed to an apartment block, where I'd feel much more secure).

Thank you.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/138781/138781#msg-138781 Wed, 13 Apr 2011 23:10:32 +0100
