I know the smoke like most cities has it's ghettoes and the like but i was wondering if any londoners actually concur to any particular area as the "ultimate sh1tehole"?
I work there a couple of days a month and most i meet are **sexual liberals(the book trade)so i usually only ply around the more pleasant areas like Islington and Kensington.
Personally the likes of Wembley seem utter filth tips and peckham (is that a town? is unpleasant.I also had a incdient with a dead dog in streatham high st a while ago so those 3 are worthy of a mention.

London's soft as sh!t compared to the north (NAP). Oh there's a war on, quick let's all hide in the tube. Oh there's a millimetre of snow, let's all shut everything down & make a big deal of it on the news. FFS...

Well bangers, this was in 1999, but there were crackheads dancing on sofas on the pavement and every smashable thing was in bits.
I grew up in some rough places, but only the fact I was with my misses stopped me legging it. |

By:
I know mate, its as rough as fook really, but I enjoyed it

25 years ago I worked between Stockwell and Brixton and lived in the street next to All Saints Road. Not quite no-go areas but it was wise to keep your head down much of the time. No idea what they're like now.
