Kilkenny is a quaint little suburb, which is not quite as well known as its neighbours Croydon and West Croydon. Unfortunately it is best known for the closeness to Arndale shopping centre, which, if you value your life and/or car still being there once you leave it, you'll avoid like the plague. Try Welland instead. This establishment is fortunately as far away from the best parts of Kilkenny as possible, as the closer to Port Road you are the nicer it is. Public transport is fantastic, with the oft-frequented train station and Go Zones on Port Road getting you to the city in under 15 minutes. After Midnight buses also operate in the area for those nights you come home after the last train service has passed.
Generally the streets are leafy and quiet, and aside from the occasional bogan driving down the long streets (we need a roundabout!), it is a safe area to walk around at all times. There is a massive park with tennis courts and BBQ facilities near the station which is great for dog walking and kids, and you're bound to bump into someone you know from around the area.
The period-style homes nearer the train line ooze character, and really aspire to be what their more-expensive cousins in Croydon are, yet we could do with some coffee shops and cafés - we walk to Queen street instead.
