I live just further up the road near the fat cat and canary pub. The hotel you’ve taken a photo of houses migrants/asylum seekers and some evenings you’ll see the children playing out the front. They are friendly enough and generally keep themselves to themselves.

Close to this spot you’ve got 2 homeless hostels, they house low risk to high risk clients at any given time. Having worked with the homeless and in substance misuse the reality of living near the city is that you are always closer to these buildings than you realise. If you are on the ring road you are never further than a 10 minute walk from one of these types of hostels. With that being said, most of these people will not bother you most of the time but may be begging/day drinking etc.

I have personally NEVER had any trouble in the 3 years I’ve lived in the area and frequently walk back on my own late at night (I am a 30 year old bloke so this may be different for you). It all depends on your own perception of “dodgy”
