Which is why a 4 bed house in Walthamstow can be circa £900k. The wave of money washes outwards and suddenly places which were "i'd rather die than live in xxxx" for a certain sort of people are now somewhat desirable.
So part of me is slightly annoyed that I now live cheek by jowel with sort of people who previously would rather have died but they sold their two bed flat overlooking Clissold Park for £750k and needed a house now that little Hattie has arrived.
The other part of me is quite pleased that I can now get decent coffee at the end of my street.
