\nIt may be suburban, but this leafy area has great property and a gritty edgeWhat\u2019s going for it? Sydenham, like Surbiton, Pinner, Sidcup and its neighbour Penge, has one of those names redolent of suburbia. I can imagine Mr Pooter here in his Victorian villa, Reggie Perrin in a semi on Woodbastwick Road, Victor Meldrew at number 23, Hyacinth Bucket next door\u00a0\u2026 a whole neighbourhood of thwarted ambition and suburban rage.

Overground from Sydenham to West Croydon (14 mins) and Highbury & Islington (37 mins). Driving, 40 minutes to the M25. Continue reading…
