I didn't.

I wonder where in Brixton she lived?

I wonder where in Brixton she lived?

Was first I heard about her living there. Maybe she just made it up to make herself sound "cool"

Have found this:

"The church hall where my father would always do these rehearsals is no longer there, though the church still is, and the house where we lived – 68 Angell Road – has become one of a row of townhouse-style council flats."

Coldharbour is a very common English place name. It is believe to have to do with Roman settlements, but I don't believe there's a definitive explanation.

A cold harbour was a small building which was generally unoccupied and used as a shelter for people to stay in when they were travelling between settlements.
