Post or Ask something here in 'Oval' Oval Is it safe to walk a dog in Kennington park?Hi Hi all - I'm planning on moving to Oval/Kennington/Vauxhall and wondered if there are any fellow dog-owners out there who can tell me whether the dogs are generally friendly round here or whether a normal dog is likely to get attacked by dodgy dogs in the parks. Or whether you feel safe taking your dog out round the block before bed etc. Am probably moving into Handforth Road/Mowli St/Hackford Gardens area (have already read forums re. human safety etc - cheers!) Any advice v. welcome. N.B. my dog is a cocker/Parson Russell cross - 9 months.

Post reply -->London Oval 20 Jan Oval Fentiman roadHello everybody, I am planing to move to Fentiman road very soon and I just would want to know if it's a quiet and safe street. Thank you! Post reply -->London Oval Oliver 19 Feb ^ Oval re Fentiman RoadHi there My boyfriend used to live in Oval for 6 months on Richbourne Terrace which is the next road to Fentiman Road. We used to go to Fentiman Arms as our local. It's a very nice local pub and the area of Oval and Vauxhall is very residential, quiet, safe and good neighbours. You have two parks close by, Vauxhall Park and Kennington Park, both of which are about 5-8 minute walk, Tesco's is a 5 minute walk and so is Oval Tube. Would definately recommend it. Hope it goes well :o) Post reply -->London Oval Joanne 19 Feb Oval Lockwood HousePhone the police. By law they must tell you whether a neighbourhood is safe or not. Mail-me Post reply -->London Oval vincent 2 Nov Oval Lockwood HouseHi just wondering if anyone knows what the area around Lockwood House is like safety wise? Post reply -->London Oval Angela B 2 Nov ^ OvalI live in lockwood house and am a female almost living on my own, I agree it is nothing to look at but very safe. Never had an issue. Post reply -->London Oval NV 23 Oct Oval Indian DancingDoes anyone know where I can do Indian dance classes such as Bhangra, classical Indian or Bollywood dancing in or around Oval? Mail-me Post reply -->London Oval Kate 3 Sep Oval Just moved to OvalThanks for all of these suggestions, all very helpful! I will check out the gym at the Oval and the doctors and dentists suggested. I was drawn to Oval area because of it's closeness to central London. I got the Northern line this morning at 9am Charing Cross branch, which was fine and no where as busy/ crammed in people's armpits as I previously was on bakerloo or hammersmith line. Had to stand which is expected, but got a seat when lots of people got off at waterloo and embankment, happy days. In terms of safety, as with anywhere these days, it's advisable to have your wits about you, stick to the well lit roads, and as other people have previously suggested, don't flash your phone about and change your ubiquitous white iPod headphones for black ones. It's not rocket science. I'm very much looking forward to my time here and I'll let you know how I get on! Post reply -->London Oval Laura 3 Jul Oval Looking for 1-bed flatI am an American architect, 35, and have just moved to London. I am looking for an unfurnished 1-bed flat in the Oval area. I have furnishings arriving by slow boat next month, so I could only deal with partially furnished at worst. Any suggestions? Post reply -->London Oval Geoff 13 Feb Oval VIEWS ON CRANWORTH GARDENSI'm in the process of buying a flat in Cranworth Gardens. I'll be moving in with my partner and 18 year old son. Anyone got any good or bad stories of living in this street or the immediate area? Thanks Post reply -->London Oval Eddie Berg 12 Feb Oval one bed flat rental Oval £550pcmHi does anyone know of a one bed flat rental going in Oval area for c.550pcm - if so Mail-me thanks very much! jo :) Post reply -->London Oval Jo 31 Jan Oval Living in OvalI'm selling my studio flat in Battersea and am looking to buy a 2-bedroom flat in Oval (I'd stay in Battersea but it's too expensive these days!). How safe is Oval for a woman living alone? I am looking at properties bordering Brixton Road on both sides (e.g. Gosling Way, Cowley Road, Caldwell St). I'm used to dodgy estates etc (since I live on one at the moment), and I am well aware of all the usual safety precautions (I've lived alone for 6 years). Is Oval any dodgier than any other part of London? Post reply -->London Oval Laura 12 Dec ^ Oval My OvalMy little boy and I have lived in the area cited by you for almost ten years and find it safe. It is difficult to make sweeping comparisons but I think that one could just as easily become the victim of crime in wealthy Kensington and Chelsea as in less wealthy Lambeth. The Oval has excellent transport links and its proximity to Brixton for shopping/entertainment and central London make it a very desirable location. Most of the people here are fine law abiding citizens and the area is steeped in history. Post reply -->London Oval Tamara K. 30 Jan ^ Oval re: living in OvalQuick note; I am a single woman and have lived on an Oval estate for over a year now. Havn't had any problems and feel totally safe. Mail-me Post reply -->London Oval Emma Bradburn 17 Jul Oval safety ovalany more thoughts on oval safety - looking at places on Handforth road very near tube station - what do you think?how safe?? Post reply -->London Oval kerry 16 May ^ OvalI'm a woman in my 20s and have lived in Oval for a year. I love it and feel safe enough to walk back from the tube at night. Apart from the main roads the residential streets are quiet, with families etc living there. On Brixton/Clapham Rd you might occasionally spot a few dodgy-looking types but I've never seen any trouble. Same story anywhere in London! Post reply -->London Oval anon 15 Nov ^ Oval Handforth Road feels really safeHi, I've shared a flat with two other girls for a year and half on Handforth Road and we have never felt threatened at all. Might have something to do with the big Met Police office on the corner of Handforth and Clapham Road. Also feels safe because Handforth links two busy routes and therefore you don't have to weave your way thru lots of resi streets to get home. We love it here, moving to another flat nearby at end of Feb. Mail-me Post reply -->London Oval Tara 14 Feb Oval Unsafe Camberwell Green at nightI've lived in Camberwell for two and a half years now - in the past year and a half our household have been subjected to mugging three times already, twice to one of my housemates and once myself. I believe that people are targeted for their belongings - if you are considering buying a property here near Camberwell Green, etc, be safe. Post reply -->London Oval J 25 Apr Oval Hackford Road - How safe?I'm thinking of moving to the Kennington Oval area, and have found a flat on Hackford Road. What's it like around there? It felt very quiet and safe during the day, but how safe is it at night? Post reply -->London Oval Kate 31 Mar ^ Oval Its is generally safe^ OvalI have lived on Hackford Road for five years and have found it to be safe, although I am precautious. I did hear that my neighbour was mugged in the entrance hall to her ground floor flat recently, but the street is well lit. It is just as safe as any other residential street in Oval / Stockwell / Clapham. Post reply -->London Oval 24 Jan Oval Councillor stMy flatmates and are are looking at a place on Councillor st. Whats the area like around here? Is it safe (well, safe for london!)? I would probably be walking form Oval tube down camberwell new road most days. Are amineties, such a supermarkets good around here? Help would be apprecaited. Would this area be considred, Camberwell, Oval or Kenninington?
