I live just off Mare Street. The area's a little bleak, but I find that most of affordable London is that way. I don't feel intimidated when I'm out and about, but some of the surrounding area is a little more worrying.
My flat is the main problem. What an astonishing heap of shit for the money. One day someone will let me in on the secret of getting non-shit flats for affordable money in London.
On the other hand it takes 20 minutes flat-out to get to my office at the bottom of the BT tower, and my missus in Norwich can get here in half the time of my old flat in Brixton.
