I was born in Bloomsbury, moved to Kentish Town, moved to Archway, then finally to Mornington Crescent /Camden NW1 where I've been for nearly ten years. Reprazent! I love it around here. So easy to get to everywhere. Anyone else from Mornington Cres and immediately surrounding areas?

[PacificOcean]

Brixton/Stockwell/Clapham born and bred.

Back when Brixton/Stockwell/Clapham were still the dumps they are without the poncy "new money".

My mum still lives in Clapham and the high street has changed beyond all recognition. I remember mum being excited when a Fine Fare opened where Iceland is now.

Now it's all gastropubs and bars selling poncy vodka at £9 a shot.
