I was born in Lincolnshire and moved to London as soon as i was old enough (well got into college) have been here ever since, about 11 years nearly!!! I still love it but could do with getting out to the country side/sea side a bit more.

Me too. First moved to the area in 1993, then spent eight or so ill-advised months in Dalston in 1999/2000, before moving back.

Moving away from Brixton was really strange - being in Dalston was like being in another town entirely. I felt rootless there and quite lost and unhappy, even though some good friends of mine (still) live there and The George is a fantastic pub. Moving back to Brixton was a total relief - I remember feeling like cheering when the removal van turned into the top of Brixton Road.

So that's it. I'm stuck with it. This is my home and always will be.

I moved in the weekend of the 1985 riots. I was well pissed off that I couldn't get a pint of milk to go in my brand new fridge 'cos all the shops were shut

Couldn't get any ciggies either 'cos the garage on Brixton Hill had been smashed up
