Keith OsborneSouth-east of the centre of the capital, the London Borough of Lewisham has a diverse population of around 300,000. It has many historic suburbs and also provides a good range of useful amenities and fun things to do.
Named London Borough of Culture for 2022, it hosted nearly 700 events over the year for an audience of all ages and backgrounds. The council is inviting residents to take part in the Lewisham 2030 scheme to help with an agenda for everything from education and equality to economics and the environment.
There’s a very active new build property market in this borough, both on the open market and through Shared Ownership, so it could make an ideal choice for a real range of budgets. Any special offers and deals mentioned here are subject to terms and conditions.
