The more braying sort of middle-class white kid.. says 'ya', plays rugger, likes Clapham, doesn't do many drugs, drinks lots of beer, gets a bit 'feely' with the girls when he's had a few.. went to private school, has a comedy accent that's easy to mock without him noticing. Likes wearing chinos, deck shoes and 'rugger' shirts. Thinks All Bar One and Smollensky's are cool.
and if he DOES get a girlfriend, she'll be seen in the same bars wearing his rugby shirt with the collar up.

I don't think there's any 'slumming it' element to living in Brixton? Brixton might be a bit rough around the edges, but the infrastructure is pretty solid and is far from a slum. It's of the same stock, if not higher, than most places in London.

I used to play rugby...however I don't think I'm especially posh.
As for Streatham, I think it's alright. There are some nice neighbourhood type restaurants on the High Road, and some good charity shops (although this probably isn't high on Filters tick list)
I do however, like reading these threads, and keeping abreast of which areas Filter is interested in...

What Dub said.
Pootle: Currently Acre Lane and Handforth Road nr Oval tube are looking good. Well, Acre Lane itself doesn't look very good, but the house does.

But that's you to a t filter?
I's prefer Brixton over Streatham what about Loughborough Junction or Angell area I bet they're fairly cheap non?
Yeah, but rough as fuck. I want reasonably priced (less than £800 if poss, wanna save), not too rough, good transport links, close to central Brixton. There are properties like that in the area, just not loads!

except Balham doesn't have any of those kind of chain bars and I can't remember ever having seem anyone in chinos, deck shoes and a rugby shirt.ChrisFilter said:
Your definition of a rugger bugger is sound - but I withdraw my support of it applying to balham.
balham - middle class young professionals who are a bit rough around the edges. The girls are a bit overweight and the blokes don't wear designer.
The backroom media types - VT editors and sound recordists rather than actual meeja types.

I do admit, for all i love streatham, balham (tho pricey to me) would be fine if they just closed the bloody Bedford - Ok pubs and shops and a tubeBelushi said:

Balham is in the catchment area for some very good schools, which pushes the price up round there.

The sad thing is I was born and raised in this area.

they are. But then so's Brighton, by that argument.
And if one were at the farthest end of Streatham Hill and needed to go to the farthest end of Brixton Hill, that's quite a way, regardless of the fact that they meet in the middle.
