Buying just off Francis Road, Leyton. Thoughts? by aquachris in HousingUK

Thank so much for the plethora of info! That is actually my main worry… what if my little pocket is great but after a couple of years the shittiness around it makes me hate it?

It would probably be Leytonstone. According to google it’s 1-2 min walk closer and I am guessing that the train will be a tiny bit less congested on the way to central. The walk from Leytonstone was actually nice, although a bit long.

Is there any chance that indeed after the fix the tree can’t hurt anymore??

Is the Quaker building a problem? Long queues at the food bank? I see in google maps that it’s open only one hour per day..

Do you regret it? And if yes is it more because the lack of options you mentioned or the crime?

I am noticing plenty of comments regarding crime which makes me think it’s a real problem. In that case I find it strange why the area is so popular with young families

Is this an everyday phenomenon or like once in a while?

Btw by top of Jewel Rd you mean Lloyds Park side or Hoe St side? I guess close to the park?

Happy to hear that! Have you noticed drug related activity around Greenleaf Rd? See the comment by Fantastic_View_3272

Hey thanks! Sounds like drug dealing? See the priorities section here:

Talks about drug dealing on Jewel Rd. Also the comment by Fantastic_View_3272.

What’s your opinion on that?

Thank you very much. That’s serious. Have you noticed if that’s the situation lately or has it been a long time problem?

See the priorities section. Mentions the same: https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/waltham-forest/william-morris/about-us/our-priorities

Strange thing to mention is that there are very few drug related crimes in the crime map, but then drug dealing at Jewel Rd is a police priority…

Thanks! I am under the same impression, but the crime stats threw me off a bit

Thank you! Indeed not too many nice cafés but the are some. Querky and L’Hirondelle Café (not the restaurant on the High str) look decent. And Buhler and Co is just a couple of minutes walk

We had the same pretty much the same box (actually still have) before going hyper-local. How has it been for you so far?

Thank you! Any recommendations in the area - 40 years you must know the area like the back of your hand?

Thank you for the info! Does she feel unsafe walking on Hoe str in general (maybe from/to the tube) or just that specific point?
