The place is normally quite quiet, except the few chavs nowadays that enjoy riding the 'mitchley avenue' on their hairdryers (Mo-peds) at 3am.

Many OAPs inhabit the area and usually take a while crossing at riddlesdowns main zebra crossing, mitchley avenue. It has been reported of several cases where impatient road users have yelled 'Hurry the F*** up you old c***' or words to that effect to the 'not so fast' elderly.

Unfortunately, there isnt a pub - which would make the area a real countryside village. A new fish and chip shop has recentley been established by the owners of maggies diner. Maggies diner is a small cafe on the north parade of shops, reknown for its gorgeous bacon sandwiches or other taste-bud tickling meals. Riddlesdown school kids often visit here.
