| Please don't try to advertise products or services in this forum. Thank you. Post or Ask something here in 'Homerton' Homerton homertonI am a female living in Homerton/Clapton, and I love it. London can be be a tough city - wherever you are - I certainly don't believe that Homerton is any worse than any other place. If you are worried about personal safety at night, then get a bike. Then you don't have to worry about walking down quiet streets which is unpleasant anywhere. Homerton is great because it's so close to the bustle of Hackney (and all its great amenities like the London Fields, the Lido, restaurants on Mare St) but it's just far enough out to feel really peaceful. Chatsworth Rd has a fantastic greengrocers and a nice deli, and we are really near the beautiful Hackney Marshes, Victoria Park etc. Post reply -->London Homerton inkling 1 May Homerton ANY INFO ABOUT HOMERTON?Hi, I am moving to homerton in a few weeks and would like to have as much information as possible about everything in the area like Leisure centres,GPs,shops,restaurants,pubs, nightclubs,markets,organic and health shops, libraries,transport,minicabs...

Post reply -->London Homerton Hilda 3 Dec Homerton Potential move to Homerton...I am in the process of moving to London, I have considered Homerton as an area to live. People I know are making negative comments about this borough and I would like to know how you the residents feel about your area and if it is worth me moving here to live... S... Post reply -->London Homerton 24 Sep ^ HomertonI stayed in homerton fro six months and found the popele in the shops to be friendlier and cheaper than in Brixton where I have mainly lived in london, but the transport what a pain....and also the part i lived in was lacking in greenery which i find more readily in lambeth.

 | Homerton Furrow LaneHello!! I'm very close to buying a flat in Furrow Lane. I have always lived in Islington so it will be a bit of a change. I have three questions: a) how easy is it to get to Old Street from there? b) is Furrow Lane an okay road to live in? c) Does anybody know what are they going to do with the school behind Furrow Lane? I hear it is going to be demolished. PS. As other people have asked... is it safe for a girl to take the night bus and walk to Furrow lane? THANKS Mail-me Post reply -->London Homerton 1st-time-buyer 26 Jan ^ Homertonyou do need to be careful but I was surprised how safe I felt (my previous home town was Johannesburg though). i loved chatsworth road in the day and running along the canal and near hackney marshes was lovely too Post reply -->London Homerton jane cheadle 15 Jan ^ HomertonHi, I moved to chatsworth rd, last year, just beside the hospital. I dont feel unsafe, any more than I would in most parts of london. late nite travel by bus, is fine, the train not so, some drunks but thats more the exception. The train line is due for up grade soon, more trains etc, and the nearby Olympic site, will demand a better safer service. Its a culturally mixed area, plenty of shops, and people are friendly enuff Post reply -->London Homerton 6 Aug Homerton Kenworthy rd?Hi Im a 23 yr old woman moving to London in April from manchester as a nursing student. My uni has placed me in residence on kenworthy rd. I was wondering about the area, is it fairly safe? transport links any good? Has anybody had any particular trouble around there? Any information provided will be useful!! Thanx. Post reply -->London Homerton se 30 Mar ^ Homerton Kenworthy Road - TransportTransport links aren't brilliant. There is no tube. There is a rail link at nearby Homerton Station, but it doesn't go into the centre of London - you will need to change at Highbury and Islington for the Victoria Line. However there are buses into Central London - 26, 30 from Wick Road and 242 from Homerton Hospital; the 26 and 242 have a night service too. There is also a good network of local buses to nearby places. Post reply -->London Homerton Julian and Phil 31 Mar Homerton amanda.wilson@ps.netDoes anyone know of a reputable builder in the Homerton area? I need minor building work done on my flat i.e. a stud wall and door move Post reply -->London Homerton Amanda 4 Nov ^ Homerton nev758@aol.comHomerton SecurityI have a question about the security in Homerton. Is it secure to live there as a girl? And is it right that Homerton is still in zone 2? Post reply -->London Homerton ^ Homertonyes it is safe to live in homerton as a woman, it is just like any part of london. do you believe the scaremongering or do you do what you wanna do? the choice is yours...and oh to make things even better, homerton boasts of a hospital and fire station! and i am a woman too Post reply -->London Homerton ^ HomertonWell I've been living in Homerton for nearly two years have never felt unsafe! It is in Zone 2 Post reply -->London Homerton 15 Mar ^ Homerton Is it safe?I know that nowhere is completely safe. Just want to know whether that dark road from Homerton station is scary to walk down at night. And also does the area feel communal and friendly to live in? Post reply -->London Homerton Suki 18 Dec ^ Homerton Yes itI've lived there as a single girl for a year and have never had a problem. Obviously I dont walk the streets in the middle of the night but come home late on the night bus sometimes or on the North London Line and it's fine. I really like Homerton - people are friendly and generally really helpful. Zone 2 for sure. Post reply -->London Homerton Millie 21 Jun ^ Homerton Why the fuss about a hospital being there?Is it because you need it after being attacked for the 5th time this month? Homerton is a dump, the person replying is probably a local so doesn't know anything else but don't move there if you've got a choice, Hackney is a dump with very high crime Post reply -->London Homerton ^ Homerton Hackney is a dump with very high crimeHackney is no different to any other borough in london as regards to crime and homerton is probably one of the better ares of hackney,so if you are planning on moving to this area good luck with your search Post reply -->London Homerton Jules ^ Homerton Please!This is absurd, I have lived in the area for 16 yrs (and many others in London) Homerton is no less safe than most. 'IF' you were attacked 5 times I suggest you remove that sticker from you forehead before you move anywhere else, as it will soon be 5 more ; ) Post reply -->London Homerton Lili 30 Jul Homerton Tai Chi in Bethnal Green Beginners CoursesTAI CHI.

Post reply -->London Homerton Jackie ^ HomertonThe Scouts' charity shop -in fact, all the charity shops- on Well Street. The Lea Valley Park and towpath too: it still feels like London, what with all the warehouses and industry, but it's still lovely to walk (or even better, cycle) beside the river and be ignored by all the herons and ducks. Post reply -->London Homerton 14 Jun ^ Homerton Cab Companies^ Homerton Yes in Mare St.^ HomertonThere is the Kings Hall leisure centre which is about a 15 minute walk not sure of the prices though. Has all the amenities gym, swimming pool etc.... Post reply -->London Homerton zamay 15 Mar ^ Homerton I need a GP In Homerton :(Can anybody recommend a GP? I'll move there in a few days and I admit I am pretty scared of that neighbourhood :( On that silver link you get all sorts of people going east or west :|... Would it be safe for a 26 year old woman? Maybe it's better by bus.... Mail-me Post reply -->London Homerton Atala 11 Jan ^ Homerton I need a GP In Homerton :(Good GP - Trowbridge Surgery (0208 986 7781). I've live in Homerton for 5 years now and never had any problems. I am 26 as well, I don't use Silver link in the winter as don't like to dark street from the st to the main road. I take the bus to Leyton (W15) or Stratford (176) and get the tube from there. Post reply -->London Homerton 17 Feb ^ Homerton Hackneys wickedA big buzz in the area. Its up and coming and every one there feels it. Young artists to aging Reggae giggers. Im moving soon becuase I love it. Great Pubs, Clubs and fantastic variety of top food Post reply -->London Homerton 23 Jan ^ HomertonHackney is a dangerous area. I have lived here for quite a few years and know of lots of people who have been mugged etc. I cant afford to move out or you wouldnt see me for dust. Unfortunately, I can also see the benefits Hackney has such as fantastic transport links to the City with its employment potential which is a plus with teenage children about to enter the employment market. Hackney at night is no more dangerous than Hackney by day. If they are going to mug or attack you they dont seem to care what time of day it is. Only the other day four people including two school children from the local secondary school in Homerton were threatened at knife point by a man before having their belongings taken from them and this was around 3.30 in the afternoon.
