"Oliver was about to move offices and I was working in the City but looking for a new job," she explains."Transport was vital and we bought a house on Robson Road, off Norwood High Street, which is equidistant to three train stations: West Norwood, Tulse Hill and West Dulwich. Ironically, Oliver now works in Battersea, near to where we used to live."They have outgrown this house but are now devotees of West Norwood "We absolutely love it," Natasha declares. All our friends here have moved from Battersea."What is the property scene in West Norwood?Houses are primarily Victorian and early Edwardian, many converted.

Sticker shock is milder in West Norwood, which, with its many Dulwich wannabes, is getting more amenities by the day and is increasingly admired for its own merits. West Norwood has good communications, abundant period houses, and an attractive neighbour, Dulwich. The latter has private schools, a gallery, boutiques and restaurants, wild as well as cultivated green spaces - and robust property prices.
