Shirley South

BR3 3 / CR0 5 / CR0 7 / CR0 8 / CR9 5 / CR9 7

Family-friendly

The southern part of Shirley stretches towards Addington and gets progressively more suburban. Bigger houses, bigger gardens, and more of a car-dependent lifestyle. Shirley Hills and the surrounding woods provide good walking. The area around Wickham Road has some local shops. It's quieter and slightly more comfortable than the northern end, attracting families who want space without moving out of London entirely.
