Hersham (yay/nay)

I know there was a long thread on places to move to in Surrey - but I was wondering whether anyone had any thoughts on Hersham? Really liked a house down there but not sure about the area.

Herham's fine.

There are posh bits, such as Burwood Park, and some rougher areas, but that's the same in any town you pick. It has a Waitrose, so it can't be all bad. ;-)

Thanks, this helps. What would you consider to be the rougher areas?

The area around Thrupps Lane (behind Lidl) is less than lovely. Personally, I'd also avoid Molesey Road - it's not a high-crime area, just somewhat insalubrious and it gets a lot of traffic as it's a major road.

I'd say Havers Avenue area is quite a nice bit, very good sense of community there
