I dont normally read the London Lite but an article caught my eye. There was
on an article on the average house prices around each station. The houses
had to be within half a mile of the station. Apperently Hatton Cross has the
cheapest house prices. I forget which station has the most expensive.

I'm surprised anyone lives within half a mile of Hatton Cross. You'd
have to be either a plane spotter or deaf!!

Isn't Hatton Cross also within the Heathrow perimeter? In which case,
with the exception of security guards and possibly the occasional long-
term Travelodge-dweller, you wouldn't really expect there to be any
houses even for deaf plane-spotters...

I wonder what house prices they discovered half a mile from Heathrow
Central (and whatever that station "for the Dome" is called - does half
a mile get you across to the north bank of the river?)

There's an isolated terrace of houses that survived demolition of
everything else, complete with pub:

Just over half a mile away there's Greenwich Millennium Village, which
is a load of fancy flats.

does half a mile get you across to the north bank of the river?

Very nearly.

Hattton Cross - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatton_Cross

From reading I'm suprised passenger numbers for the station are relatively
high.
