So you've never actually lived in any of the nice bits.
I agree that all the places you have lived are awful.
Swiss Cottage is an anomaly - a traffic snarled gyratory full of council estates in the middle of much nicer areas. Go west, east, north or south and everything is a vast improvement (Primrose Hill, St Johns Wood, West Hampstead, proper Hampstead, Belsize Park, etc).

Also, I'd point out that I said "London" not "The North".

Dammit
I've lived in Islington, Highbury, Marylebone, Finsbury Park, Stepney Green and Clerkenwell, and can confirm that North/East London is filthy, crime ridden and full of cunts.
I'd rather not live there when South London is available instead, without the North London street furniture of stumbling crack-heads, moped-enabled snatch-muggers, acid-throwing youth's and the general filth and decrepitude.
I really like the place that Tenderloin posted (and which has been posted before), but it's in the middle of nowhere, relatively speaking.
