You see, in London (as in many big cities) you'd have to live for a while somewhere to know what's going on. You live round the corner - your school catchment is different. You see a nice row of neat houses on a leafy street? So what, on Saturday night on the rear of that cul de sac is a spot for junkies to score. You see a lovely rad squat next to a fixie bike shop? Coffee shop opposite full of merchant bankers. You can have anything, but not what you want.
