Grew up in the burbs in south London and moved away about 3 years ago. Now in Egham, west of London just outside the M25.
I miss being able to ride home from central. A lot of you moan about hipsters, but they brought damn good eating and drinking places to London - the food and drink in Surrey is absolute shit in comparison. There's a LOT going on all the time in London, too. When you've been there a long time you start to take it for granted and you don't really even notice it. When you move away you realise a lot of places have no scene and absolutely nothing going on. Surrey is like this. It's more about what white 4x4 you can afford and how much more fake tan you can get your wife to wear.
I don't care. I'll still ride my shitty fixed gear bike.
