A culturally diverse community occupying houses,flats and maisonette. Local takeaways from around the world as well as the usual chicken and chips and pizza. Good transport links to get you around London. A quiet area apart from the emergency vehicles which pass through, as close to fire station and hospital. Great area for blackheath bonfire night and the london marathon. Close to the river Thames and the o2, which is a great place to visit, se13 7qr has it all.

Deciphering Crime Rates - a Deep Dive Into UK Postcode Analysis
Ever wondered about the crime rate in your UK postcode? You're not alone. We've dug deep into the data, uncovering trends and patterns that'll make your head spin.
Death of the High Street?
The BBC reports that despite councils' attempts to kurb them, the UK's high streets have seen a huge growth in fast food outlets. Could this mark the death knell for the Great British high street, and what can we do about it to halt its decline?
Discrimination by Postcode
You really couldn't make it up, could you? Some of the country's most vulnerable people are missing out on their weekly £25 Cold Weather Payment, just because the system that's in operation is discriminating against them because payments are based on postcode, rather than geographic location.

And it's been a long, tough job from start to finish - and quite possibly the biggest project I've ever undertaken.
SOCIAL GRADES
According to census records, 34% of people here have a social grade of AB (highest), compared to the national average of 27%.
