I lived in shirley warren for 12 long, horrible years, near the working mens club in coxford close. Note to Dan17, ffs dont even consider that area, it is abysmal. Warren Avenue has all but closed down now, any shop that opens gets immediately trashed by the local yoof and you would need to be deaf to ignore the constant howl of police sirens. Plus knackered speed ramps up and down the main drags, seriously worth avoiding. The day we left that dump was like a weight lifted off my shoulders.
