As an asides what is so great about Catford?

It's just people yerning to live in the suburbs while saying they live "in" London

Incredible piece of writing;

I’ve been living in London for over three years, and I wish someone had shared an article like this before I moved to the city from Edinburgh, Scotland. London is so big and so diverse that living in different areas might provide a totally different experience.

Hackney / Dalston / Clapton (E8 2)

Despite becoming super trendy in the last few years Hackney, as well as Dalston and Clapton, are still pretty rough areas to live for families. You can still hear gunshots at night from time to time, and that’s because there are a lot of criminal organisations that are fighting between each other for the areas of influence.

The Sourdough Wars

The whole site is just wow

Comments are a gold mine thank u user cozey;

You cant hear OCCASIONAL gunshots, you jusT sound completely pumpkin spice baSic.

What’s with the random capitalisation in the comments? Is this an internet thing I don’t get?

don't thank me, thank my machine learning algorithm which was built up over many years of diligently feeding it user @amey 's gibberish posts

The same site has another article best areas that includes London Fields (er, also e8). It's just bollocks

Is the gun shop still there near the pizzeria?

It's an artisan firearms emporium now.

best thing about london is it really annoys provincial dwellers, particularly northerners and scottish.

basically anywhere that has lots of tanning salons, where middle aged men still use hair gel and wear teenage clothes detests London as they can’t get their heads round somewhere of that size and complexity.

Nor the "diverse population"

User Amey took some heat away from me, despite owning an arse gun as well.

Also petition to call everyone “user” as a first name.

yikes

One of such areas is Southall – it’s often referred to as Little India or little Pakistan because pretty much all the residents living there are from India or Pakistan. Unless you’re from this area of the world, you might feel a little bit excluded from the local community, and you might have difficulties to find the groceries you’re used to eating. Apart from that, Southall also has a lot of issues with crime and often appears in the news with headlines like that.

despite owning an arse gun as well.

how good is it eh?! Life changing.

Nigel farrage turning his hand to a little bit of journalism I see.

This travel blog website is amazing. Best places for young professionals and students to live includes Crouch End... I mean Crouchy is fine, if in reality you wish you lived in suburbia. And I'm guessing most young professionals choose London because it isn't suburbia.

Weird.

Thanks for this post, so useful, i appreciate it probably is a contrOversial one but so Helpful for Young users who dont Know london well. Its also useful to reaD the comments and i agree yoU should add seven sisters to thiS list, what a dreadful place. God, barkiNg is the absolute Worst. I dOnt Know why you would ever go there! ps live aldersBRook imo

The only worse place to live in the UK than London is anywhere else.

If we put the traffic, polution, stabbings and expensive flat whites to one side, it really is a better place than Hull or Trowbridge

I can't speak for Hull, but I think even including the traffic, pollution, stabbings and flat whites it exceeds Trowbridge.

The only worse place to live in the UK than London is anywhere else

I am sympathetic to this argument - it's shit but the rest of this island is worse.

how good is it eh?! Life changing.

Totally get why cold is better.

You know that living in Catford is just a forum in-joke right? No one actually lives there.

Amey lives in a period correct Georgian town house in Swiss Cottage.
