What is this SE London of which you speak?
Went to Peckham once to pick up a Beetle, does that count?
You went to Peckham? I hope you remembered your stab-proof vest!

Another area inhabited by utter wankers...and despised by many a French person!
Eh? I closed my eyes in there and found myself in a branded Francais-lite chain, surrounded by horsey brayers with overbites in rugby shirts, often with jumpers tied at jaunty angles around shoulders. And don't get me started on the men...
My short time playing at London Welsh, about 10 mins from Richmond Station, was enough to turn me off the area entirely.
do you really really think that you need a stab proof vest to go to peckham?
peckham isn't the lovliest of places I'll grant you, but in 5 years of living close by and doing my shopping there, it's not all that bad y'know.

I used to work near Richmond and had the misfortune of sampling its nightlife once or twice. Not really my cup of tea to be honest. Everyone looked and dressed the same.
Mind you there was a pub by the river, a proper pub, that I really liked. Can't remember what it was called though
It was next to a really really horrible bar.
Richmond is beautiful though, especially Richmond Park, it's very leafy too, but yes, there are too many 4x4s and too many rich people around.

but you're not disputing the snob tag
Absolutely not, I can still be a snob without money. At least I've got the postcode.

I love SE London... wouldn't live anywhere else. As with anywhere, there are some down at heel bits and there are some lovely bits. I love the bit I'm currently in, SE21, it's quiet, green, lots of nice posh houses and dead close to public transport. I also love the place we're moving to, SE20, Penge of all places, up near Crystal Palace Park. I went for a wander last week having heard all sorts of horror stories, but actually it's a perfectly decent High St with a decent mix of people. Friendly, unpretentious, sense of community. Fine by me.
Richmond would be right up there in the list of places I would never want to live. Full of 30-something Hyacinth Buckets desperately clinging to their delusions of being 'fab'.

Both north and south London have a semi-circle of multi-racial, multi-cultural areas.
In the south, running from Brixton through Camberwell, Peckham, Brockley as far as Deptford. If you go south of that it loses its cultural diversity and turns very white and mostly horrible, not feeling like London at all.
In the north, the areas north of the multi-cultural semi-circle tend to be much richer.
I am generalising hugely, but if you look at a map, it's definitely there.

Of course, we have to defend the finest slice of life on the planet from deluded snobs, and there's a lot of them, even from within the S ranks, let alone the dirty fuckers from North of the river
