Brick Lane, Tooting, Streatham, Catford, Brixton, Waterloo, Peckham, Camden, Tower Hill, Hoxton. In that order, since 1991. Catford was, I'm afraid to say, a low point. At that point there was very little in the way of entertainment there and no chance of a seat on the train in the morning. Taken me back a bit, thinking of all those mad flats, houseshares etc back in the 90s.
SW9 (Brixton), SW16 (Streatham), SE24 (Herne Hill), SW2 (Brixton). Four postcodes in 30+ years of London living.
To be fair I was born around here, my parents are still local despite moves (Mitcham) and I've been back and forth to different unis and pub jobs across London in the past. It's just where I prefer to end up.

Yeah, I reckon if you're born in London you've probably had fewer addresses...
Archway, Camden, White City, Elephant and Castle.

Banana for scale
Winchmore Hill N21 (0-23, excluding university) - Grew up there. Dull but pleasant, and was basically pretty lucky to grow up there.
Walthamstow E17 (23-28) - Bought my first house, still own it with tenants living there since late 2004. Loved it, but gsv didn't want to live there.
Wimbledon SW19 (28-29.5) - Rented a place 'cos gsv was working in Surrey. Didn't love it. OK, but waaay overpriced and overrated. Plus the flat had slugs.
Finchley N3 (29.5 - ) - Bought a place with gsv. Is very good place for nearness to our families and other stuff, though I'd still have been happy enough (and much, much better off!) in the 'Stow.

I must say I am deeply impressed by the Uber Trendyness of you previous locations
I suspect you work in the media.........
They were not trendy when I got there

and would you go back? or move out of london to elsewhere?

I lived in Leicestershire for 14 years, too young to judge.
nr Henley-on-Thames for 4 years, nice area, convenient for London, but very expensive.
Melbourne, Australia, for a few months - loved it, would move back in a flash.
My next move, in 5 years or so, will be to the countryside just outside of London. As near in as Warlingham, or as far out as Otford. As long as it has quick and regular links into London I don't mind.

currently i live in walthamstow. before that i have lived in:
streatham
brixton
clapton
stoke newington
homerton
mile end
i think my next move might be a bit further east. south woodford is nice and tbh i am getting a bit sick of "edgy" urban grime. dog shit and weekly stabbings just don't do it for me so much any more.
