I've lived in south east London most of my life growing up in Greenwich borough and working in the area for many years. The site has contributors on occasion and we cover many different topics. Living and working in the area offers an insight into what is happening locally.

  • Very sad. Bad time across London right now (and the country).

    Well done for getting the location right too. I notice all other media have called it Greenwich. Yes its in the borough but when looking for witnesses you REALLY should put the right place. It just shows most very little idea about this area.

    • Well said, it also irritates me when the media say South London, it’s South East London!

  • Thank you Murky and well done for getting the area right.I agree with Joe and Jodi really important when looking for witnesses. . Neighbours have complained for a long time now that this area suffers from anti social behaviour along with the nearby Hornfair park which also includes youths on mopeds etc.
