Sanderstead is one of the most suburban parts of the borough, sitting right on the Surrey border. The village green, the pond, the church, and the local pub give it a proper village centre. Housing is predominantly interwar and postwar detached and semi-detached, with good-sized gardens. Sanderstead station connects to London Bridge and East Croydon. The schools are popular and it attracts families who want a quieter life while still technically being in London. Prices reflect the fact that you're getting Surrey character on a London postcode.
