wallington!! how could no one have mentioned it!?
it is strange because it has a huge contrast of posh south wallington and the rest is unbeliveably rubbish. it used to be a lovely town – like the rest of south london. now look at it all!
theres roundshaw, ahem, sorry – ‘wallington village’. full of all the scum of the world looking for trouble and mothers in their early teens opting for an easy life on benefit
there are so many spastic kids wandering around the high street nowadays, poor souls, i was in one of the charity shops the other day and one of them kept on coming in the changing room with me and closing the curtain – i was calling for the carers but they couldnt give 2 s**ts about them!
if u wanna watch children chavs doing drugs and drinking cider – go to mellows park
if u wanna get jumped/mugged/flashed – go to beddington park
i really dont feel safe walking down the high street anymore, there are gangs of little chav s**ts waiting around to prey on vulnerable people.
at one time there used to be 3 pet shops on the high street, now there’s 3 BETTING SHOPS
i think we’ve got enough dont u??
nightlife…
must mention the joys that are the whispering moon and john jackson. opposite eachother, people will hop over the padestrian barriers to get from one to the other.
u will see lovely well behaved topless men screaming at their bints running after them down the road, bloody fights in the street, screeching cars driving away, people copulating in the alley ways, urinating outside shops. oh yes, wallington is a very pleasant place at night time, and being a resident of the high street i get to witness it all
id love to hear other’s experiences with the wonderful hamlet of wallington, please comment
stay strong residents, stay strong – we cant all live in south wallington eh!!
To the original poster; I lived in Wallington for about ten years, had happy times there. If you look at a map you’ll find Wallington has no High Street, you can’t know Wallington all that well, oh, it’s not in Surrey neither since 1965. Every town has good parts, less good parts. Wallington is okay, there are many places far worse than Wallington and any place would be better served if the residents pulled together despite their differences rather than type nonsense.
You cannot spell to save your life. We can see that you didn’t get to go to a grammar school because you couldn’t even spell it!
I live and run a business in Wallington (ok not in the town centre) but I visit the town most days. I also use the local restaurants several times a month.
Sure there are “chavs” but I find “chavs” pretty much everywhere I go.
I must say the views on this website are pretty extreme and quite nasty. However I’m sure the experiences you have had that formed these opinions were unpleasant too.
Perhaps some level of tolerance would be a good idea.
I believe that the town is what we the residents make of it. It is our job to pull together to create a better environment for us all to live in. Which is why I support the Wallington Residents Information Website. It aims to bring together the local residents for the greater good of all of us.
Why not join us (it’s free) and make a bit of an effort to help improve where you live. Rather than just complaining about it.
Remember
booooooo wallingon is not full of chavs?? there are 3 gr8 grammer schools der how chavy can that be. i must say there r lots of weirdos on the busses spittin on lil girls backs. how is roundshaw a village it has to many shops???
It’s not the place that is the problem but a minority of people. You know the types – too lazy to get off their backside. I wouldn’t say Wallington is going downhill, I have never witnessed any crime in Beddington park or Mellows park. The improvement works on the high street are now almost complete and it looks much better; however, Wallington Square still looks a dump, but here too there are plans to improve it. The new appartments at Canon Court near the station are almost complete, and I think we will start to see an influx of hardworking professionals that will edge out the chav element.
What’s needed is a decent pub and another good coffee house.
What is annoying is the dirty chav that keeps letting his dog fowl the pavement all along Ross Road. Every morning there are fresh dollops of the stuff. I know someone who have filmed the guy doing it and I think they are going to put the footage on YouTube and send the link to the local council – hopefully, the dirty chav will get the £1000 fine…
I have been stabbed outside the Whispering Moon, saw some bloke get his face slashed at the 5-a-side courts and generally agree with the OP. Wallington, shithole!
I don’t know what planet you bigots are from if you seriously think that teenage mums on benefits have an easy life. Have you ever tried to raise children on your own with hardly any money and with the whole world making you feel like scum. Even if they got pregnant on purpose rather than by accident – that’s the sort of stupid thing that young people do! It may seem like a good idea to buy an expensive moped or have a baby early and try to give your life some meaning – but anyone who’s had kids knows that even when your older, settled and relatively financially secure, having children is bloody hard work. So please, please, please lay off bashing young people who made foolish and typically naive choices and appreciate that they are just doing their very best in a tough situation!
they probably should have thought about that before they put their f**king ankles behind their ears then, shouldn’t they?

I live in Wallington i have lived here for over 30 years, i live in Melbourne road no far fron the station. When i moved from east-London in 1977 Wallington had a kind of village feel and was much less busy than it is now. It has changed i agree with some of these comments on this site . But the person who said that Wallington is rubbush and full of bad people and scum that is not true for all residents in Wallington i don’t think i know some lovely resisents of Wallington Yes there is anti-social behaviour especially near the pubs that were mentioned in the comment i have seen it myself, i used to visit Mellows park in Stafford road with my dog most mornings but gave up going because of drunks sitting on the seats and i felt rather uneasy as i was alone with my dog Jasper. But recently i have returned to the park and the police have tried to stop this type of behaviour and put up notices and they have patrols going around during the day etc and it does seem much better now glad to say. There are always people who cause problems in areas no-matter where it is but i don’t think you can tar everyone with the same brush so ti speak. And the remarks about special needs children was rather nasty has that person no compassion. Yes they can get over zealous. I go to Westcroft swimming pool twice a week and there are many special needs people there when i swim adults and kids they sometime get in my way when swimming and want to talk to me. Surely you can stop and speak for a few minutes they are human beings like the rest of us. But it sounds like this person has no humanity and that is sad.
I agree with the fact that Wallington is going downhill, but I don’t think you have the right to generalise the town and make it seem the equal of Brixton, Croydon etc. There are bad people where ever you are- some worse than others, granted. But you don’t say the good things do you? If you don’t like Wallington, why do you still live there? My towns Beddington, just round the corner from Wallington. Just think of the people in Brixton and such places
not all of the people that live on roundshaw are chavs ,single mothers drug abusers etc,some of us are married law abbiding citizens and are doing our up most best!! to bring up children to become respectfull ,careing adults.I my self work when my children are at school and my husdand ‘s a ploice officer training for his sargents exam .it’s people like us that make it a nice place to live ,just remember there are worse places to live .
To the poster:
I live in Wallington & am disgusted that someone as vile,judgemental,bitter & spiteful as YOU lives in my midst!!!
How low,scummy & nasty can you be as to suggest that special needs children lower the tone of a place?perhaps you prefer asbo kids?& referring to them as “spastic kids” you actually sound quite sick & warped….
I bet when your walking around wallington you keep all these twisted thoughts in your sick little mind-the only time your actually brave enough to share them is when your sat there festering behind your computer screen….
Its doubtful you will ever have kids-you seem more like a socially inept weird loner to be honest-but just say you do & the child has special needs-I wonder how you will feel about someone referring to it as a “spastic kid” ….you never know whats around the corner!!!
If wallingtons so bad-why not move?I hope you do-its quite creepy to think someone as nasty as you lives in the same area as me!!!
And also not all chavs are cocks
Nothing they don’t deserve though.
Id just like it if everyone who’s not nice would f**k off and mind there own.
Yeh…
