Yes, it's tatty in parts, but also lush and green in others.
Great transport connections, too - twenty minutes to Paddington, ten minutes to Heathrow, ten minutes to the M25 and M4, five minutes to the countryside and yes, there is Crossrail.
House prices may be low at the minute, but they have risen since I have been here, and will continue to do so as more people discover the area.
