Thamesmead will be one of the fastest increasing property price areas of London . There is £2 Billion of investment in the next 15 years , Cross Rail at Abbey Wood and a potential DLR connection from over the river at Barking
The charity I lead are investing in a 60 place nursery on the Lakeside (Southmere) building which itself getting £1million of investment and Bow Arts a great East End charity are opening a restaurant there. We have money to build a housing project for young entrepreneurs and am business planning on taking on two fairly substantial current sports offers there.

That's why we moved. I bought the house for £70,000 in 1999 and sold for £330,000 September 2016. However, prices are still cheaper than properties in Abbey Wood
Thamesmead is somewhere my firm don't let us work alone after dark, the old Ferrier estate was another. I also once had a lorry wheel nut shot at me from a catapult when I was working near Morrison's. The place is a hive of scum and villainy

Lots of change in Thamesmead at the moment. The old library was demolished a week or two ago. All the buses are being rejigged for Crossrail. New routes like a 301 and buses like 244 going double decker. 472 extended to Abbey Wood etc

Cool. Let's hope they can bus in some new inhabitants, with a bit of self-respect and pride in their neighbourhood, respect for their neighbours and some basic civility.
Chablis- I wouldn't say Thamesmead was unsafe or even feels threatening. However, parts of South Thamesmead are indeed rundown and feel miserable- and a wander through the shopping centre, or a visit to Morrisons of a weekday hardly lifts the soul either. Like much of Woolwich, Thamesmead has become a byword for aesthetic absurdity and the failure of 'contemporary' urban planning.
And another thing- moving to Thamesmead will destroy your credit rating as well. That's because most credit agencies will now score you by demographic, and given the ubiquity of payment card fraud here (and especially online fraud- 'SE28' is the postcode most frequently used for fraudulent online purchases) and there's the perceived likelihood that you will have your post and bank admin intercepted. Don't be surprised therefore if your credit card company tries to block any payments all of a sudden, or ring you at 4am to verify a payment. And not to mention that you will be turned down for a loan too.
To be honest though, you could still do worse- the Medway Towns have now become the epitomy of welfare dependency (and I live there). And even villages like New Ash Green have (or so I am told) become a Mecca for anti-social families.
Long, long way to go for the place. The bits nearer Abbey Wood Crossrail will improve as a ton of money being spent. But those bits the other side of Western Way nearer the Thames will be as far from stations as they've ever been.

That said, it's no different to much of Kent.

Yes the whole of Kent is beautiful and doesn't have any social problems or anti-social behaviour.

Where did I say the whole of Kent is beautiful ???
Please enlighten me, because looking back on what I said (and what I know) parts of Kent are beautiful - as are PARTS of Surrey PARTS of Essex PARTS of Sussex

I lived on the ferrier for nearly 20 years, most of the stories were myth, some dodgy inhabitants frequented the way Tyler (Pat Van Den Heuwe for a time) but it was never as bad as non ferrier residents believed.

granddad lived in shawbrooke not a million miles away, and the old man used to drink in the yorkshire grey.
never any bother really. a lot of places get a rep and its hard to shift, thamesmead certain parts are a bit ropey but then you get that everywhere.

I also lived on the Ferrier for over twenty years, now on Thamesmead (12 years) since the decant from Kidbrooke , a bit dirty at times (litter) and noise from city airport but all ok............so far
