I used to live in Chadwell Heath, down the road from Halfords. Its ok, the best nightlife is in Romford Town Centre near where i live now, i was always there every fri and sat night a few years back, was blinding, used to know everyone....

Loads of car meets mate as mentioned above, every sat if you dont wana go out on the turps, theres southend, which is only arf hour away....

Best of all mate, you wont look out of place in a saph coss, just as long as your driving it with a claret and blue shirt on!!!!!
