lpg hey ads thats an interesting website you've made..
Ta, I think the site is really useful for anyone interested in moving to London. Me and the boys in my office have done lots of other interesting Geography stuff too, e.g. http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk

Back on the off topic, I think the law states that a job has to be advertised within the UK with EU visibility. I.e. if nobody in the UK nor EU wants the job then it can be advertised / offered to a non EU migrant.

Or those funny rubber shoes. I have seen a lot of those there.

Clapham is a funny old place if you ask me. There are much nicer areas that are equally expensive (e.g. Blackheath - nicer in my opinion). All I can say is look where all the shootings in London have occurred this year, I think most are very close to Clapham and you don't get this to the same extent in other areas which are nice.

Ta for sorting me out that bike the other day, it is awesome.

I live on the Forest Hill side of Catford SE London and always encourage people to move SE. It is a forgotten area of London by most and good to buy in, however perhaps not best for renting. In terms of location, everywhere is good on a bike. I cycle in most days and it takes about 45 minutes. A good areas in SE London is Telegraph Hill which is near New Cross and Depford etc. I think this whole area is changing a lot and might be quite interesting to live in. Reminds me of how Camden used to be a long while ago.

I used to live in West Hampstead when I rented and this is a nice area, lots of shops etc and a really nice ride into town though South Hampstead, St Johns Wood and Regents Park along the back streets. About 20 minutes.

As a shameless plug of one of my projects have a look at http://www.londonprofiler.org (doesn't work on old IE, but everything else). This allows you plot a series of data about areas on google maps. A good one might be to plot the IMD (Index of Multiple Deprivation - i.e. how scary an area is) and then use the Nestoria tab to overlay house data (for sale or for rent). This should help you to find an area which isn't too rough and has reasonable rents.

I really like Catford and SE in general and I would encourage anyone new to London to explore the areas that are not usually on the radar. It seems most people new to London move to Clapham for some reason.

I am new here and I also get up early!

Merry Christmas!

As it goes, is it just me who thinks a Brompton would be good for Bike Polo?

I have two Bromptons and they are amazing bikes for London, especially around traffic jams, very nippy. As for earlier comments about millage I do about 14 miles a day on mine it is fine.

Although....

I rode over a plastic bag last week which attacked my tiny complicated rear derailleur (2 gear), shredded itself and locked up my gears. I still need to take the whole thing apart to get the rest of the oiley plastic out! At this point I wished I had no gears :(

Yeah I will take it for that. Let me know if the other person doesn't want it.

I might be interested in that bike. How much does your mate want?
