St Johns – The pretentious part of Lewisham in reality is just a fugly train station

Living in St Johns, London

The gentile residents of St Johns would have you believe their little enclave is a suburban paradise, nestled between the affluent neighbourhoods of Greenwich to the north, Blackheath to the east, Brockley to the south and Telegraph Hill to the west. Don’t buy this bullsh*t – it’s part of the puss-filled borough of Lewisham, so […]

Loughborough Junction or should that be Laughborough

Living in Loughborough Junction, London

As you turn the corner from a modern busy and energetic area of London named Brixton with great transport links to the rest of this glorious city, there is a place under a bridge called Loughborough junction, which is to say at the very least one of the most unglamorous and unsophisticated areas I’ve ever […]

Bexleyheath – a hive of villainy

Living in Bexleyheath, South London

So, I live in Bexleyheath. Growing up it used to be an okay town, it wasn’t too bad and there wasn’t enormous amounts of crime (not from my memory at least). I am now 20, and this area has completely changed. It is the hive of all villainy in the galaxy. Yobs, gangsters, roadmen and […]

Clem Attlee Court, Fulham, full of wannabe boxers and gangsters

Living in Clem Attlee Court, Fulham

Clem attlee court, a council estate off of the rubbish laden north end road. The place is full of wannabe boxers and gangsters most of whom are skinny, scruffy and who couldn’t punch their way out of a wet paper bag. The teenagers hang around in tracksuits spouting colourful language at vulnerable passers by. They […]

Battersea, the ghetto of the 80’s!

Living in Battersea

I’m amazed that there isn’t an article for this on here yet! Ah Ba-a-sea (as we all called it, a local knows it has 2 t’s in the name but neither are used): the home of my formative years in the 80’s. I’ve not been back here since meeting up with a young lady for […]

Brockley: Hipster Dads, Goldsmiths Students, Social Housing Tenants and Dungarees

Living in Brockley

I think Brockley 10 years ago would have been a markedly different place: one bereft of the beards, the flat whites and the numerous restaurants offering an approximation of hipster haute cuisine. Now you can’t get on the overground without having your skin exfoliated by the bristles of the creatively bearded, find a “normal” coffee […]

Whitton, Twickenham…Where’s it all gone?

Living in Whitton, Twickenham

Ah Whitton, a once quiet, subtle and small area situated slyly between Hounslow and Twickenham has now become a blight on the surrounding area; even next to Hounslow. You see, after having spent the last 5-6 years living, going to school and generally going out around Whitton, I have experienced the first-hand deterioration of this […]
