What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

so if hoxton and shoreditch are over, then where is the cutting edge now? hang on, i'll get my pad and pen... ;)

South IS the new east
fact.

it's all about Elephant and Castle.. thats the new Hoxton

you're showing your age diable - old people always moan about shit because they think they know better and have seen things change for the worse...
W12 4 EVA!

it's all about Elephant and Castle.. its a roundabout

eh?

I'm in Dalston, not so much hipsters but its soon to become Yuppie heaven with the horrid Dalston Square yet to be unleashed on the 'locals'.

I've heard Peckham is the new 'east'. However i dont subscribe to 'The Old Blue Last' weekly to know what's shit and the shit.

London is dead and corrupted full of posey wankers and fake gangsters.

you could have said this at any time in the city's history. personally i don't buy it.

I patented that name years ago!!! fucking bastards

Peckham is just shit and full of 'squats' which are apparently 'cool'. South must be cool. teenslain lives there.

Top notch style for sure!

I love Brixton but I'm struggling with the recent flood of Clapham dollies and Abercrombie attired cretins in my local... Some posh blokes turned up in fucking kilts the other day on their way to some fuckng ball or summat... The price of a pint has gone through the roof because of it... London's fucked... Period... I miss the old London, but I am a miserable old fart so that would figure... :/

i'll be moving back into london in a few months time and could do with some advice, otherwise i'll probably head back to comfortably numb London's The North of London.

what's Vice got to do, got to do with it?

Vice magazine AKA Old Blue Last bible.

a magazine for people without any passion.

vice own OBL hence my correction

yeah, i know.

damn - am i trying to look cool?

;)

you should start namedropping

If you have to ask then the chances are you've already missed it.

what's that supposed to mean?! my question was more than a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Highgate is where its at now. The Boogaloo is proper poncy but they do play good music. Thw Winchester is class and it is all about the Prince Of Wales with its awsome real ales and thai curries. And that is before we get to the mecca of all that is cool and hip. Tuseday nights at the Flask, North drinks holding it down, hardening the fuck up and shiverling under the heat lamps.

Mind your language boy!

But yes, Peckham is NOT the new east.. I'd say New Cross is certainly becoming 'cooler' though

and btw, the squatters that lived next to me a couple of years ago got turfed out

what's that supposed to mean?

I think Plagiarist has got the painters in...

I used to DJ for Jerry at the Boogaloo before Kate and her mob started showin' their faces, nice little place (even tho' Jerry's a cunt)... North London is total gash tho', Andrew... No soul and overflowing with cuntiness...

i find this idea about places being cool difficult to understand. it seems to basically be about where's cheap enough to attract certain kinds people, as none of the places mention have much in the way of topographic or civic character. i hate the word 'vibe', but it's more about the people/activity there than the place itself, right?

I think when we're talking about places that are 'cool' in this manner it means it's a place where trendy twunts like to go.. So yes, you're right, it's more about the people

You're on fire today Joe! I've got a pass the whole weekend, the Mrs has fucked off to her Mums all weekend, not back til Monday night! Ride and a session at some point? Effra, Sunday?

true.

basically anywhere thats cheap means you're gonna get more interesting people i think, i.e people not interested in making money and therefore bypassing any form of soul.

However i think that geographically Hackney is the best. Nice situation.
