Places I have lived in London, for how long, would i live there again and why:
Holloway Road/Seven Sisters, 18 months, no, busy main road, bit depressing.
Hackney (off Lower Clapton), 3 years, yes, cheap, big houses, vibrant, friendly.
Hanbury St (off Brick Lane), 1 year, no, it's now hipster central, expensive.
Greenwich, 1 year, maybe, quite cut off, touristy, expensive. nice though.
Kingston, 1 Year, no, far too far out.
City Rd (just off main drag), 6 years, yes big beautiful house, cheap and close to everything.
St Peter's St (posh bit of N1), 18 months, yes If I could afford it, lovely but expensive.
Kilburn/Brondesbury, 1 year, no, run down edge of town feel, lack of social life/good pubs.
Off Upper St (also N1), 9 months, no, love it but tiny for the money.
