Really hate riding down Clapton Common/Upper Clapton Road, I think because it seems to have about a billion sets of traffic lights and drivers always seem to be acting like idiots trying to beat the reds and get to the next queue of cars five seconds faster. Used to ride it frequently to go to my barber but now I just get the bus. More than once I've seen people attacked by teenagers on mopeds there too (pedestrians and not cyclists, admittedly) so I generally find it a stressful place.
