The General Covid19 Thread

North London is far better than South. For starters, the transport infrastructure’s miles better.

Along_the_Wire Smallman likes having to use graffiti-ridden slam-door trains that haven’t been replaced in about four decades. He thinks it makes him ‘urban’. The complete cock.

Hursty Is north or south London better generally? I always thought North had more going on but I have literally no idea.

Speaking relatively objectively, ignoring Central/Zone 1, the nicest parts of London are North-Central (eg Islington/Hampstead/Highgate) and South-West (eg Barnes/Richmond/Wimbledon Village).

Most of the rest will have a pretty even smattering of alright bits and dumps (except for East, which is more dump).

Ignore Smalls (as if that really needed verbalising).

Yeah it’s as I thought, Hampstead takes some beating, the best of both worlds one might say.

Which “both worlds” are they?

Still suffers from the terrible London pollution, as does pretty much everywhere within the M25 and even beyond.

I lived in East Dulwich for a minute. Just off Lordship Lane. I quite liked it.

Hampstead Heath is massively overrated.

Used to live in Hampstead… by far my favourite area.. if it wasn’t for the kids I’d be back there in a flash (currently in SW London)

Jules72 One of my biggest ever regrets was living with my bird at the time in West Hampstead back in the mid 90s and we were going to buy a beautiful split level two bedroom flat a couple of minutes from the tube - we split up and I couldn’t be arsed going through with the purchase. £58k. What a cunt.

Smallman1

Excellent area that Jonatton.

Jules72

Smallman1 meeh.. nice houses but dull as fuck… only consolation is Brixton down the road. Unless aggressive yummy mummies in range rovers is your thing.

zackster Why is he wearing a child’s mask? 😂

Smallman1

Take it you’ve never of Peckham Jules.

Jules72

Smallman1 never been - doubt I ever will Ed

jonattonyeah

Smallman1 Peckham

Loved Peckham. Short walk over the hill and some damn good cheap eats. A bit hardscrabble but nothing compared to some of the places I’ve been in the States. ’Though the fellow I was staying with did get chased down the road by a group of unrulies for his new PS3. He got away.
