The amenities of the area, with its two beautiful parks as
well as its many open spaces providing ample facilities for sport
and recreation, together with its proximity to London and the
excellent means of transport available, make it an attractive
area to reside in.
One point of note, however, is the large number of highclass
residential flats erected in the area and also the fact that
a fair proportion of the larger type of houses have been converted
into flats.
The coming into operation of Section 12 of the Housing
Act, 1936, and the regulations which it is hoped will soon be
made thereunder will be most useful in giving better control
where the basements and semi-basements of these large houses
are let as separate tenements.
