underground runs through here. A cheaper area is around Finsbury Park, another beautiful green
area. 15 minutes by underground from the centre of London, this is an area where prices are
going to go up in the future.
East London
An interesting area is Beckton which used to be a very poor part of London but is now easy to get
to because of the Docklands Light Railway and Underground. There are many new houses and
flats here and it is very close to the London Docklands Airport. It s not a great place for shopping
but it isn t too far from Stratford centre which is a big shopping centre. There s a ski slope in
Beckton and a big supermarket. As prices nearer the centre of London go up, more people are
looking for a house here.
South London
You can t beat Greenwich next to the river with its market and park with beautiful views of the
river. It is crowded and the traffic is bad but it still feels like a village. At the top of the park is
Blackheath, a real village with small arts and crafts shops and lots of nice restaurants. It hasn t
got many big shops but you can walk down the hill into Lewisham which is great for shopping.
Blackheath isn t on the underground but Greenwich is. You can catch a train from Blackheath to
Charing Cross station.
