Tuesday, Apr. 03, 2012 11:11 p.m. After having seen houses and flats in Homerton, Cricklewood, Tooting, Golders Green/Brent Cross, Peckham and Colliers Wood, I decide that the southwest is still the best (or most normal) place to live. The northwest is too rich, too fake and meant to be lived by car owners. The northeast is inconvenient and the energy doesn't seem right. The Southeast is inconvenient and notorious as a high crime area despite the fact that the Peckham house I saw was actually quite pretty. I have an impression that the southwest is where real, normal people live - there is right mix of everything. Not too white, not too black, not too indian, not too anything. Not too urban but not too desolate. Not cool not posh but ok as a place to live. It is where people just want to live an ordinary life with reasonable quality of living - we just want to be the man on the Clapham omnibus. Unfortunately I still haven't found anything nice within budget AND at reasonable location yet. I wandered from that house halfway between Brent Cross and Golders Green towards Hendon. Endless rows of HUGE expensive houses. Glam but cold estate agent who would wink at his potential client when saying goodbye. Highways and flyovers. Bridges. Straightened river channel. Ugly monstrous shopping centre with all the chain stores of the world inside. Mums with buggies. Shopping shopping shopping. Carpark, carpark and more carparks. What horror!
