Enfield Chase.
It's a really nice bit of Enfield, 5 minutes walk into Enfield Town. 20 minutes into Moorgate/Old Street/Liverpool Street. The town centre is a typical town centre with shops, resturants and bars. I'm set back a little from that, so i have no bother from drunken party goers (and the bus/train station(s) is between me and the clubs so they won't bother me in the slightest. They did have a problem with some hoodies selling drugs but someone told the management company and they never came back... I like that, it's honest and shows they deal with those sorts. Plus there is a pretty girl who works at the Waitrose just down the road. Their fish'n'chip shop have people queueing up outside on a weekday evening, so I reckon it would be quite good.

All in all, I'm really excited, if it all falls apart, there is another 2 properties in the area that have my eye.

The area I was looking in, and budgeting, which is where I currently live, Southgate.... like-for-like I can knock off a good £25k and more so.
Thank you, London Riots, I reckon that knocked a good £10k off, even though in reality it's a big nothing that lasted less than a week.

I also like Finchley Central, which is more proper-london, but it's just slightly beyond my reach, unless I can find a place there that doesn't need doing up.

Riots: you secret ally

I think the thing to remember, is that the people who rioted generally didn't do so in the areas they lived in.
And in Enfield, the anti-riot vigilanty groups were straight up on there on the second or third night, shows a really good comunity.

There are still bits of enfield that I hate, but I'm right up the oppersite end of them.
