Absolute ********! Read my post above - people are so paranoid about
parking their cars in London it's silly.

If it was me, I'd drive to Wimbledon Park station and get a direct train to
GloRo. I believe lots of free parking can be found once you get out of the
immediate vicinity of the station. As for crime, there hasn't been a single
unpleasant act in the area since Cliff Richard sang.

Generally I agree, but you mentioned Streatham (though parts of
Streatham Common aren't too bad).

I simply disagree your notion that Streatham is a some kind of really
dodgy place.

It's a Jekyll and Hyde place... The back streets of Streatham are nearly all
very pleasant... the High Road is full of people who look badly nourished.

That's more of an apt description.

I've never found Streatham railway station particularly inviting I
must admit - I think that's basically because much of the length of
the platforms is stuck in the gloom underneath the wide road bridge.

I do still like the fact that Streatham has an original high street
cinema, the Odeon. I went there not so long ago and it was perfectly
pleasant.

Thinking about it, your Jekyll and Hyde line is a rather apt shorthand
way to describe a good number of places in London. I shall be making
use of it in the future!
