OK, but things like that are rare.

I agree. Walthamstow and Stratford have very good transport links and lots of good shopping, etc.
I'm moving to 'stow
Plus with the whole of East london going under the renovation for 2012 Olympics its going to be better. I've grown up in East london all my life, so it has good points to it, but really- most of it is a dive. If you're going for east, head for Walthamstow, Leyton/stone, Chingford (nice and quiet) Stratford, West Ham or anywhere past Poplar on the DLR.
My dad was brought up in Hackney, I love the place.
It's a bit of a ghetto but I know some quality people who live there.
I saw some people mention Finsbury park, seriously that place is dodgy. I had to wait at the bus stop for about 15 minutes and I was surrounded by a gang of drunken 'gangsta's' at like 4pm. lol I then went into that pub which is over the road from the train station to use their toilet and I was eviled by everyone as I walked through it. When I got to the toilet, it was covered in grafitti saying stuff like..
"Don't come to this pub on a sunday or you'll fucking die!"
"Any faggots come in here and we'll fuckin stab ya!"
Lovely place...
Canonbury is a very nice area though, and the area around Northchurch Road (just north of Hoxton, just west of Dalston).
You should get yourself a bike too if you really want to get around.
Indeed.
Was on the bus between Rich's house and Camden Town once and we saw this kid throw a brick through a car window, steal the stereo and run away with it. In broad daylight.
I was like :eek:
God knows where i'm living come September. Currently looking for 3 bed flats within zone 1 but my mates' budgets are not as permissive as mine. May just end up getting a room in some randomer's flat just to get a decent location ie. close to the City.
The Dolphin down by Lidl and the Volkswagen garage has just been done up, it's really nice. Good drinks, nice food, fantastic smoking area outside - definitely worth a look if you're in the area!
IMO, London is anything with a London postcode. Having an 020 number, living in a London borough all = greater London. There's a difference.
Yeah i saw something about that, might have to go check it out at some point, seeing as i live about a whole 5 minutes up the road, the Golden City in the middle of the high street is my dad's restaurant.
I'm just round the corner, near Mayow Park. How strange
Yeah, the Dolphin's definitely worth having a look at, on weeknights it's not too packed either.
