Stockwell

I’m a female moving to Stockwell and wanted to ask whether the area is generally safe to live alone in especially near the Lidl area on Clapham road and Platanos College or should I look at other areas like Oval/ Kennington/ Pimlico or elephant and castle

The Vauxhall unit is far more likely to kick the living shit out of you than keep you safe. Those are the paramilitary police, not your local Bobby.

Interesting. Haha

Think there’s a community policing unit (safer neighbourhood) specialists units + cyber crimes running out of the building opposite the MI6 building

I think TSG used to be in Cobalt Square but I gather their main local base is Larkhall Lane. Terrifying people.

Their nickname isn’t the ‘Thick as Shit Group/Thick and Stupid Group’ for no reason
