Just to add my twopenny worth, a colleague was recently mugged one evening walking from the station in Beckenham. He was badly beaten about the head and his car keys stolen. The muggers knew where he lived because they made their way to his house and stole the car parked outside so had obviously been planning the attack. Incidents like this colour your view of a place and I must say I wouldn't feel any less safe in Sydenham than Beckenham - just the sight of all those bouncers outside the bars at the weekend gives me the creeps. Not a place for a quiet night out.
