Lewisham teaching jobs
About Lewisham
Once considered a deprived borough of London and notorious for its high crime rate, the popularity of Lewisham as a place to live is rising steadily – although living costs are still lower than many parts of London.
The wealth of Georgian and Regency properties and green space in beautiful Blackheath makes the area the most desirable place in the borough, although New Cross with its large student population has its fair share of culture, plus much more affordable house prices.
