Well, I've done work down there, I've known and know people who've lived in various parts of it, and I've spent time down there enough to know I don't want to live there. I know plenty about all parts of London, hence my choice to live in the greatest part of it: the North.

People say that about New Cross too
I think they just feel a sense of loyalty to where they live. They are wrong and just prove that they haven't lived anywhere with great transport links 
Brixton is great for transport. New Cross is shite. Hackney is even further away and more shite - it can easily take an hour to get into central London on a bus, and the train is only good to go to Liverpool Street or Islington 
In transport terms Guildford, which has express trains that take 35mins, is closer to central London than Hackney is

It takes a special sort of wrong'un to choose to live north of the river when they've experienced the south. Not many people do that.

Loving the 'yuppie housing' then Tax? There aren't that many new developments around E&C so I've got a pretty good idea of which one you're in, you gentryfying cunt
New Cross is great, dunno why peeps are bitching about PT - will get even better when the ELE opens...

Love is too stronger term, it simply ticks the highest number of boxes for me at the moment. But crucially is lacking in storage hence me not bothering with it just yet.
Might get myself a nice 32 gig touch soon though seeing as my iPod is on the blink (running three years strong and only started skipping lately, the battery is as good as it's ever been)...
Oh yeah and I love the Nintendo Wii too!

Buses have to go along the Old Kent Road during the day. Takes about 3/4 of an hour to get to London Bridge - without traffic it would be about 20 minutes, but this is the Old Kent Road we're talking about.... To get to Trafalgar Square is likely to take over an hour in heavy traffic - which is most of the time.
The trains are not bad, but if you're not going to Charing Cross or London Bridge you have to switch to the tube. Which wouldn't be too bad if there was integrated oyster-cards, but there aren't, so you have no choice but to buy a day travelcard just to get into central London and back. That'll be £5.60 or £7.20 at peak times thank you very much.
I don't call that good transport. This is why I ride my bike

well identified guys. We do indeed live in the very modern building by the railway, the one with the uber modern balconies.
As for being responsible for gentirifiation have no fear we're moving back to islinngton in a year, (where my family have lived for over 60 years!)
Ah just down the road from me, in a better part of London! So this room rent is short term then..?

I hate the place but to be fair I could get to Waterloo by bus in ten minutes every morning. Getting a bus into Oxford st at the weekend only took 25 minutes. I lived a bit down the road from elephant tube (15-20 mins walk) so never took that.

I go past your bedroom window every day...
You took a bus from Elephant to Waterloo??
Bejebus, you could have walked it in the time you'd waited for it.

Agreed. I can't imagine I'll ever cross the river again. I've lived all over North adn East London but South is best by such a long way that it's silly.

No, read my post again. I was about 15-20 mins from elephant, the bus went though elephant. I did walk most days, it took 35-40 minutes to get to work. If I was late I would get the bus as it only took 10 minutes.

Exactly. Plenty of people wise up and cross the river from north to south, but it seems very, very rare to cross the river from south to north.

I too was once young and stupid, during which time I lived North of the river
The memory sends a shudder down my spine now just to think of it
We free people of the South have a much better life, but you cant force those with a need to live in squalor out of the silly ways, they will realise in tiem.
At which point we will have to fight them off with sharpened sticks as I for one dont want my area to be polluted by their Northern Savagery!!!!
PS I am worried that the EL will make it easier for the unwashed of Hackney to get here and lie awake at night troubled by vision of hideous types in their "engineered" jeans destroying the Rye!!!!!
