How many London boroughs have you lived in?

[Rollem]

I must tip my hat to maximilian ping.

you needn't, he just gets moved on a lot

 

[PacificOcean]

Born in Lambeth then
Lambeth again
Islington,
Westminster,
Waltham Forest,
Haringay,
Lambeth again,
Lambeth again,
and now Enfield (just though, the Essex border is the other side of my garden fence)

 

[Groucho]

Hackney for years
Then Southwalk for about 8 months
Out in the wastes of The Other Place now.

 

[Guineveretoo]

Hackney for years
Then Southwalk for about 8 months
Out in the wastes of The Other Place now.

What, Narnia?
Or War Time London?

What's the other place?

 

[marty21]

Ealing - lived in Acton for a few months
Wandsworth - lived in southfields for 2 years
Barnet - temple fortune for 2 years
Hackney has claimed by soul since 1993

i prefer to call it exploring the vast and varied environmental and social tapestry what is London town

but essentially you are spot on

 

[Santino]

Ealing since I was born. (I am almost 29.)

 

[marty21]

when i first moved to london i lived in buckhurst hill, near woodford, not sure if that's in essex or a london borough tbh

 

[DrRingDing]

Tower Hamlets
Bermondsey (?)
Hackney
Lambeth

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Going backwards

Croydon
Southwalk
Tower Hamlets
Lambeth
Wansworth
Ealing

 

[Groucho]

What, Narnia?
Or War Time London?

Well it's not a London borough....

today for instance I was chased along the river by four giant smiling things with huge faces they bounced along after me and I was much alarmed

 

[Groucho]

No, I remember now there were five. One was orange, I'd forgotten the orange one.

 

[Groucho]

how could I forget the orange one

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The London Borough of Croydon.

That's it!

Big up big up big up the Croydon.

Nobody understands us. I know I'm a latecomer to the Croydon but I'm in it to win it now.

Yeeha!

 

[Guineveretoo]

Yeeha!

I'm a latecomer to Croydon, too.

Didn't know this was a competition!

My vote is for Croydon!

 

[Chz]

Deptford, Lewisham - not too bad, to be honest.
Archway, Islington - useless fuckers.
Balham, Wandsworth - better services than Islington, and half the council tax

 

[Blagsta]

Ealing - where I grew up
Lambeth - where I live now

 

[Kanda]

Richmond
Wandsworth
Southwark
Lambeth

 

[Kameron]

Wandsworth
City of Westminster
Lambeth
Waltham Forest
Lewisham
Hounslow

Everything after Lambeth were ill advised or unavoidable experimental moves away from Lambeth all of which culminated in a precipitous return to Lambeth. You'd think I'd learn wouldn't you but last week I was offered a place in a shared house in Putney and for a while I seriously considered it. Fucking dense is what I am.

 

[catrina]

Camden
City of London
Islington

Where I lived in Camden was dull, but I think Camden is one of my favourite boroughs nonetheless. City of London was soulless. Islington has some of the best and the worst bits of London. On the whole I'm quite content here, though.

 

[Tank Girl]

southwark

 

[Chairman Meow]

Hounslow - is that LB Hounslow? - I've tried to block the whole experience
Stockwell - Lambeth
Balham and Earsfield - Wandsworth
Morden - Merton [biggest shithole of the lot]

County Cork is better.

 

[spanglechick]

Bexley 1974-1992 and
then holidays until 1995, when I lived there full time again until 2002

Sutton Dec 2002 - Feb 03

Wandsworth Feb 03 - March 04

Croydon March 04 - Feb 07

Southwark Feb 07 ->

 

[Firky]

Lived in:

Morden, Stoke Newington, Tufnell Park, and Kennington. Morden (up by Rosehill and Carshalton Beaches) is shit.

 

[Firky]

Won't let me edit the post above for some reason. I'm sure you can work out the boroughs for yourselves, I'm not sure where I lived other than Southwark, Hackney and Camden - not sure where Morden is?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

not sure where Morden is?

s'where my g/f comes from. think of longbenton but its blokes in sheep skin jackets, sov rings and cigars stuck in the corner of their gob. its near the end of the northern line (and it feels like the edge of the flat earth).

 

[Biscuit Tin]

Haringey, Islington, Tower Hamlets and Hackney.

 

[Biscuit Tin]

Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (student)
Haringay (urgh)
Hackney (hooray)
Islington (ok)
Hackney (for life)

Never lived in Kingston but agree with you whole heartedly on the rest

Heh - totally agree about Morden. Bloody place drove to a nervous breakdown - what a shithole.

 

[HackneyE9]

Westminster x1
Haringey x1
Camden x2
Tower Hamlets x1
Hackney x2

Off to exile in Lewisham in two weeks time. Fingers crossed.
