Very nice neighbourhood well looked after. With play areas for children. Footpaths are always smooth and straight with a nice taste of nature, I prefer Thorley Wedge than walking on viller sur Marne Avenue to get to work. Also lots of links to Thornbera Gardens and Mangvile Road. Worth checking out on a Sundays. !!! Lower Park Crescent Play Areas Is also very ideal. On The Way
