Which is news to me. I have slightly more sympathy for the idea that Camden is one but only because of the amount of fecking idiots around.

I still don't get what you're mad at him about to be honest. |
I’m not mad at him about anything. The only time I’ve ever got annoyed on here is one time cil posted some conspiracy theory crap about 911 |  | | |

That’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen for a long time.
For a start, has the person who created this been to Stoke Newington recently? It’s like Hampstead. |  |

A major transport hub for numerous bus routes, tube & overground with newly formed cycle routes... I'm not aware of it becoming a no go zone. Would cause problems for the likes of Ministry of Sound |
Me neither. My company's head office is right next to Ministry of Sound, I have to go there about once a month and I've never been aware of any problems there. And if anyone from work had been in any sort of incident round there, we'd have definitely heard about it by now |  | | |

I say this to my parents and they don’t get it. I’m quite happy wandering around any of the flats round there, camberwell and Peckham where you literally don’t see a white face. Venture into new cross and you take your life in your hands. |
Not true.
You've not spent much time in New Cross |  |

Shadwell is just round the corner from me and can't say I've had any problem with acidic substances, aside from the local chippy's stinginess with vinegar. |  | | |

The point jonty was making about comparing London now to 30 years ago is a good one. What annoys me about people like Callis is that he has no experience of that but considers himself enlightened when he’s been brought up in a multicultural society so really doesn’t have a choice in the matter. I would expect anyone under 35 to automatically hold his views. |
Not sure how many times I need to say I grew up in a rural village until you stop being pointlessly offended and making stuff up.
How well do you know me or my background? |  |

Comes across as a quick google to find somewhere a bit edgy not on the map above, that whole New Cross/Deptford area of London is getting one step away from gentryfication.
To be fair, Shadwell does seem to have had a bit of a downward dip over the last 18 months or so, but no go? pffft |  |

The whole thing is preposterous, I’ve felt more threatened by the rubes in rural villages than any of those places.
I think the worst thing that happens on the streets of Stoke Newington is being run down by a pram that costs more than your car |  | | |

Jesus. The worst thing is this will be touted by rural clueless folk as evidence London is awful.
Been to most of these places this year already.
Another funny one is when people talk about Tower Hamlets as if it’s some kind of walled off militant extremist Muslim strong hold above UK law where you’ll instantly be lynched if you are white. I’ve seen that angle touted on here in Muslim/Terrorist discussion. |

My cousin used to live in New Cross in the early 80's, well Deptford I think.
It was horrific then, although I hear it's quite nice now. | |

It depends how you compare it though. Is it as much fun to visit as Budapest or Lisbon?
Is it as pretty as Cologne or Venice? All of those are probably no
However it's also a true metropolis, and cannot really be compared in that way.
When you weigh up everything from history, culture, architecture, green spaces, job opportunities, cuisine and fashion there's literally not a single city in Europe and very few in the world that come close. | |

No. It's a global city. Think New York, Tokyo etc. That's who you need to compare it to. |  |

The thing with London though is it is so big. Many European city's are smaller and have a town centre sort of thing, London is more vast and has regions.
I don't particularly like New York, I would rather go to somewhere like New Orleans. I'm very lucky in that I have travelled the world but never been to Japan and to be honest I have no inclination to.
I'm really surprised that London is not viewed as a nailed on top world city by some on here, the place is immense and is one of (if not the) most important and influential city's on the planet. | |

Not this again...
I agree compare London to most European cities is laughable. So why are you doing it!
As others have said London is not really comparable to any European cities (maybe Paris excluded). It's too vast and diverse to compare to a quaint continental capital.
As I've said on here before, I' completely understand why some people don't want to live in London. But to dismiss it entirely is completely farcical and ignorant. |  | | |

Still pretty rough around the edges round there I assure you, but I'm sure a lot smarter than it was in the 80s. Unbelievablue lives on the periphery of deptford | | | |
