RichM yeah though Hackney is still easily one of the worst places in London for it, along with the Peckham-Camberwell-Brixton axis.

A few of my old classmates from secondary school bought flats round Hackney; can’t say I envied them it.

      Hipsters and gangsters, sounds like a mustard place to live

        No such awfulness in Tooting, just a wonderful part of the world full of absolute legends.

          Did you find that in a cracker? Best Christmas joke ever!

            hugopal it’s all based on personal opinion, part of mine is based on some people at my work (finance industry) who earn a fortune and have a family who live there and love it. There are some very trendy restaurants, bars and pubs in the area to back up the million £+ properties there

            But as per my previous post, it comes with lots of shit, such as yesterday’s shootings, but I’m sure that’s not unique to London. I’m guessing Berlin has trendy areas which are expensive but also edgy, a bit shit?

                Not in Mcr Rich, we have decent areas and shit areas. I can park the flatbed and fit a Jacuzzi on my plot

                    Smallman1 it’s not exactly the Kings Rd to be fair, but I’d take it over the aforementioned every time

                        Don’t be so hard on yourself, it’s where all the winners live.

                          I don’t mind Hackney - a couple of mates that have lived there a long time - had a lot of great weekends there.

                              Yeah but the similar/equivalent types of areas in Berlin are at the lower side not quite as dodgy or crime-ridden in the same way, but at the upper end are not as refined or varied in terms of things like properties and restaurants.

                              Those parts of London feel more unequal in that the worse seems worse but the better seems better.

                              There are no multi-million town houses in those parts of Berlin, it’s all apartment buildings.
