Catford is a diverse, historically working-class South East London neighbourhood undergoing gradual regeneration, centred around its iconic 1960s Broadway Theatre with the giant fibreglass cat. The area attracts a mix of long-term residents, families priced out of neighbouring Blackheath and Lewisham, and young professionals seeking value. Known for its multicultural community, affordable housing stock, and improving but still somewhat gritty urban character.
