SE London, I live in a nice area but still grown up street-smart and aware of the area I'm in. My road is the most robbed in my area so woheyyy #specialgetme but I love the transport and diversification over here, can't believe if I get into UEA I won't be using my Oyster- that bad boys been with me my whole childhood as a Londoner :frown:

Pros:
*42, 136, 343, 12, 68, 148, 171, 176, 468, 40, 45, 35, P12 are all near me, so I don't need to worry about missing a bus :teehee:

*Living quite high I get to see some parts of the London, I can see parts of Vauxhall, Canary Wharf, London Bridge etc. :tongue:

*I have everything I need on the main street: small Tesco, Iceland, Morrisons, M&S, big Tesco and ASDA are not far either, loads of small shops too :h:

*Several parks in the area and one big close enough :colone:

Cons:
*Food market next to my street :erm:

I have to go all the way around because it takes ages for me to get through to a bus stop :unimpressed:

*Traffic! Sometimes the queue of vehicles turns into several kilometers :toofunny:

I'm from Chadwell Heath in East London but since starting uni in 2013 I've been living in Sheffield now when I get a grad job that could be anywhere but most likely back in London :smile:

Do you like/love or detest where you live?

I live in an urban area of South West London AKA Clapham, and I absolutely love my area and the culture. :love:

I used to live in Brixton and that was also a brilliant area!!!

I love the community vibe, the love and culture.

Even though the hood get's a bad press and reputation, I wouldn't choose to live anywhere else in U.K as it would most probably be dull and boring. :boring:

But on a real though, the hood is amazing. :daydreaming:

lol my mother always used to tell me if I ever went to london to never go to brixton at night :lol:

isn't it rough af?

Lived on the Isle of Wight my whole life. Many of my friends and family don't like it because it's "cut off", but I like the country walks and abandoned places all over the towns and villages. I don't think the people are that interested in that particular side of the island, but I am, so I make the most of it.
