What the homeowner says:

I’ve absolutely loved living in St John’s for the past 16 years. It’s a truly special place with a unique blend of community spirit and natural beauty that’s hard to find in London. One of the highlights has been the incredible connection with neighbours, our WhatsApp group has been a lifeline, whether for emergencies or just sharing a friendly chat or recommendation.

St John’s is a beautiful, family-friendly, bohemian conservation area filled with charm. The weekly and monthly farmers’ markets across the boroughs make it easy to source quality organic produce, especially from small, sustainable businesses. Nature is always just around the corner, with a stunning nature reserve at the end of the road and herons as local residents.

Transport links are exceptional, whether it's trains, DLR, Overground or buses, you can get anywhere in no time. Greenwich is just a 20-minute walk away, and Blackheath, a picturesque village with a touch of celebrity sparkle, is only 5 minutes by foot.

There’s a real sense of belonging here. From yearly street parties that bring everyone together, to local parks offering everything from cricket and bowls to Saturday morning running clubs, there’s something for everyone. The communal gardens are maintained monthly and if you love gardening, you’ll feel right at home.

Local bars and restaurants are of a high standard and family-oriented, adding to the neighbourhood’s relaxed and welcoming vibe. Hilly Fields hosts a wonderful yearly fair that’s not to be missed.

Now, as I move on to a new chapter, I leave with a full heart. St John’s has been more than a home, it’s been a sanctuary. Whoever moves in will be lucky to experience the tranquility, warmth, and community spirit that makes this place so extraordinary.

There truly is no place like it.
