I get what you mean about Crouch End. But it’s just a really nice area to live if you have kids and don’t have to work. The day care and schools are great. There are loads of GPs (the Queenswood Medical Practice for eg is brilliant - especially if you have children). Lots of parks. Nice shops.
You shouldn’t’ stereotype, but fuck it I will anyway… you get the feeling that the yummy mummies lobby their husbands to accept the slightly shit commute based on the upsides, and given they probably work shit hours anyway, what difference does getting back a bit later make anyway?
It sort of reminds me of Vicky Park, where I imagine it works best if you WFH most of the time or occasionally make the short cycle to a studio in Hackney or at worst Shoreditch. Otherwise why would you want to pay a fortune to live somewhere miles from a tube?
