Your favourite part of London ?

[Nibble]

Nowt wrong with Croydon. It has both an IKEA AND Wing Yip

And it's categorically NOT a part of London. Never has been. Croydon is in Surrey.

Stratford where I lived for ten years, ya cant beat the East End my old China Plates.

Did you or your neighbours not realise that is not the east end of London.

 

[Nibble]

I ran those 3 pubs in the 60s and all the customers who lived in the Prince Regents Lane area considered themselves true East Londoners, perhaps they were all wrong. It was London E16 then.

Come, come BG, we all know that Bushy built London with his bare hands. If anyone is going to know what is what in London it's him. Or is it Haywards Heath? I get confused. Sorry, yes, Haywards Heath not London. Apologies, as you were.

You are pretty much the ONLY person on here that EVER brings up the subject of acting. That and your tedious attempts to make everyone on here believe you are an expert in London and not the punchy, twice divorced, worn out arse who dines out on your "edgy" life in inner city London from your semi in Haywards Heath are your stock in trade on here. As always.

Alright Bushy. I believe you. Thousands wouldn't and all that.....

 

[Megazone]

Can you guys stop talking about having semis.

Really isn't the time of day for that sort of stuff.

Amy part of London that isn't a tourist trap and isn't a dreary 1930s suburb between the North/South Circular and M25. London is a collection of villages that grew together outside the City Walls. If you don't like, or get bored with shops/pubs/food in one place, then it is very easy to go the extra (half) mile somewhere else.

Yet another cutting reply............

The road out....

 

[hart's shirt]

Take a drive to Primrose Hill.

It's windy there, and the view's so nice.

Can you see the city lights from Primrose Hill?

 

[Bolton va va]

Really? Very Interesting..just looks really rough, probably a decent crowd in there then. Love the way on the blackboard outside to publicise the Sky games, 'Celtic' is painted on!

Ahh, I just wondered if it had a "reputation". It's a very Irish pub, not just an old bicycle nailed to the wall next to a Guinness poster, but somewhere that actual Irish people drink ( quite heavily, judging by the state of some of them ) & from my experience, they've always been perfectly friendly.

And the AMEX is in Falmer

Southbank, anywhere north of the river is dross

 

[Earlsfield Seagull]

Blackheath is very nice and the walk to Greenwich over the heath and through the park is fantastic...

 

[Jesus Gul]

Like the Portuguese-ness of Stockwell oddly enough. Borough market too

 

[Dan Aitch]

The wind tunnels around St Pancras are great.

 

[Barham's tash]

Lived in Balham/Tooting area for 20 years and loved it there (although Balham got a bit up itself). Tooting always delivered though - fantastic Asian restaurants, a wonderful Lido in the summer and some decent pubs. I could get back from Withdean in under 90 minutes too

Lived in Balham/Wandsworth Common for three years until November. Played football most Saturday mornings at St George's Hospital sports centre followed by a walk up the high street and a visit to one of the many amazing veggie curry houses for a Thali for about £4. Brilliant.

Bottom of Brick Lane down by Whitechapel.

Still retains some of the old charm away from the nouveau types and there's still some cracking pubs down there.

Oh and Tayyabs!

Never understood the fuss over tayyabs

BYOB, grilled lamb chops and naan to die for. What's not to like?

I never thought i'd get on with living here when I moved away from Brighton in 2008 but whilst i've kept my flat in Brighton I don't see myself moving back. You've got to find a bit of London you love and then you'll never leave. I work in St James's/Mayfair and live in Barnes Bridge and bloody love it.

Was stuck in the office until about 8.30 this evening and made it home for a run along the river into the sunset. Glorious.
