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".
