agree it's crap have defended it
Worcester Park. Nothing doing.
Worcester Park and Stoneleigh are tidy commuter suburbs. The fun is all in London.
Worcester Park and Stoneleigh are suburbs for people who work in London. Crime's well under half the typical town's and Nonsuch Park is down the road. There's nothing to do in the evening unless you go somewhere else.
Estate agents argue over where Worcester Park stops, which is as heated as it gets. You're breathing 1.6 times the typical town's nitrogen dioxide, there are 2 play spaces, and for the evening there's 3 pubs and 1 hairdresser. That's the lot.
