If you are not familiar with London neighborhoods, know that this one is just over the 'edge' and was not entirely comfortable for my wife and daughter. I would have no qualms with the public drinking, pot smoking and general urbanity if I were alone, but it was not ideal with my family along. The flat had multiple elements that did not work, such as the main ceiling lighting, bathroom vent fan, and very slow shower drain. But for a short stay we made due.
