I can't actually disagree with any of this. for convenience, connections, facilities, safety etc you can't fault the place.
just one thing; it's horribly soulless.

Croydon is fine, is the home of the finest football club in South London Crystal Palace. :cool:

Spent too much of my teenage life being a mallrat, hanging out at the whitgift centre or in the indoor market on George street. It also has one of the finest record shops there is (Beano's) Some great parks and open spaces as well as very good transport links.

The only drawbacks for me are the towncentre at night time. :eek: New Addington and the Roundshaw estate which is fucking grim and houses some of the nastiest fuckers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
 
arghh! not the whitgift!:eek:
yer right about the town centre at night. the worse and most depressing place at night I've ever known.
Joe banana's AAAARGHHH!!!!:eek:
 
I live on the border of Lambeth, Croydon, Bromley and another one I forget. No complaints with Lambeth council. Croydon is ok, have just spent an afternoon shopping there which wasn't too bad considering it's half term. I hate the shitgift centre and centrall. It's all such new lego land style buildings. Would love to see what it looked like before those centres existed. I love Surrey st market, got there just as the markets were closing and got crazy amounts of vegetables for 50p. The fishmongers and butchers are also fab, also found a nice pub on Surrey St (Dog & Bull iirc?) for a quiet drink. Must remember to check out the cheap record shop next time.
 
Wandsworth. Purely because of my council tax bill, but Putney and Balham/Tooting are alright.
 
Must admit I am very impressed with the service I get from Lewisham council, even though they have one of those executive mayor types, Steve "bollock chops" Bullock..

Is Lambeth on the poll as comedy option, useless council.

Glad to see you are back living in civilisation. Went to Wood Green about a month ago my nephew has moved there, bloody horrible, traffic clogged place. Just like the rest of North London really..
 
Southwark - Home of the Gods

Peckham, its Jewel
We've got the fucking lot down here, Lorrrrrrrdship Laaaaaane, aaargh, Jim Lad, calls itself Easterly Dull Which, but really its Peck Ham me boyo - its obviuops its absolutely packed with naff bars converted from decent pubs and as we all know the Alleyn family would only allow one pub in the village, so, it MUST be Peckam!!!
Its the Village on the Peck, which unlike the Effra isn't quite totally covered over - though we do have the largest covered resevoir in Europe so there!!!!!!Eat yer fucking heart out Croydon (an utter bumwipe of a place) - no, you can still see, and on a hot day, smell the trickle that is the River (What? You cannot be serious!! That, a river?) Peck in Peck Ham Rye Park. The Rye incidentally where William Blake frist started getting his weirdo visions of God, tho I have lookled lately and it seems the locals have long since picked out all the shrooms........
You can by semi toxic Turkey Gizzards and Cow Foot in the charnel houses on Rye Lane, eat a very nice lump of dead cow for lunch at the OLD NUNS Head - one of the oldest licences in London, have a lovely view of St Pauls from the cemetary in Nunhead
Aye, home o the Gods like

PS 10 years ago twas easier to get shot here than it was in Brixton, but since the Kings closed and Cyclotron or whatever that badboy club at the start of the Rye was called, since they moved the bus atop and the crack dealers from outside Crackerjack -must have been the name that attracted them - its all peace and bloody light

I mean, we've even got this:
