Owning your own home

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.
