Don't listen to the robots who are frightened of Brixton,its the most vibrant part of London.It suits us not to have the usual 9-5 wageslaves ****ing up our area.Yes you'll get robbed if you arrive looking like a euroclone but if you like freedom and have an open mind come on down.I guarantee you a good time.Transport and Shops are freely available 24hours a day(I'd say 24/7 but fortunately I've avoided being programmed by MTVspeak)The best Clubs,Pubs and street ambiance going.By the way the casual racism of most non inner city english people is unfortunately a true reflection of life here in england.TTFN.

Why is it if someone says they hate Brixton they get accused of racism? I hate Stoke-On-Trent does that mean I hate white people? Brixton is a ****hole and no amount of discussion of it's alledged 'street ambiance' will convince me otherwise.

Incidently by using ' non inner city english people' aren't you referring to rural white people and thereby being racist yourself?
 
Come to Crouch End, it sounds crap but is actually a really nice place to live. (If you can afford to loose a kidney to help pay the mortgage) £185,000 for a studio flat :confused:

sadly I speak from experience... a couple of years ago I had my wallet nabbed from my bag that I have permanently slung over my shoulder... who ever stole it was mightily niffty, not only was the bag clipped shut, my wallet was also in a zipped pocket inside!! :eek: didn't feel a thing!! :eek:
 
i live in the path of the notting hill festival and i've never gone to it,

firsts off igav's advice is sound

second off make sure you drink enough water as it will be a hot day with crowds of hot sweaty people

i personally have my wallet attched to me on a long rattley chain that sits above my waller in my pocket, it's completely pick pocket proof :D

Red Stripe

do americans get red stripe? here it's festival beer of choice it's nice but it has a funny alfter taste that i'm not sure i like
 
woo woo woo

Wow. I swear to ya, it was raining and scorchingly sunny this afternoon for like 5 MINUTES. I just looked up and started shouting "Make up your F***ing mind".

btw: I have lived so far in: Dalston, Stratford, Hackney, Peckham (good ol' old kent road), Brixton, Sheperds Bush, Notting Hill gate (when it was cheap).

Limmie tell you: All the neighbourhoods aforementioned are rubbish! And this statement is based on experiense. Its funny how expensive London is considering how it will mostly be submerged in water in 2/3 decades :) But they dont tell you that at the estate agents do they?

P.S. Canning Town is where I live now, now complaints so far!

Curiously enough most of the Red Stripe in the UK is brewed under licence in Bedford...

i know, nearly everything that claims that it's Jamaican or french or german ect., is brewed in the uk under license from the owner of the brand, imported stuff from the same brand is usually like nectar of the gods compared to the stuff they brew here

brewed in the uk beer is at best ok but still far better than the week crap that is american beer, the best stuff is european or austrailian import.

my favorite brewed in the uk drink is any type scrumpie (cornish cider) it's so nice that i'd drink it even if it was not alcaholic. but it's ahrd to get in london and at best your hard pushed to find a bottle of newcastle brown or 6x (nice cider not any of that strongbow crap)

btw never ever ever drink fullers or youngs london lager it is like puke in a can the most crapy drink ever. if your in a london pub stick to stella artois or kronenbourg or any decent looking bitter (I quite like bass).

drink guinness at your own peril it's a love it or hate it type thing.

I love being a 15 year old that looks 18 it's great

They can check IDs. They're just not quite as hot on it as they are in the US.

Incidently I would completely disagree with Hector on his beer recommendations. I'd drink any of the beers he mentions over Stella. In fact I'd rate them Fullers>Youngs>Guinness>Kronenbourg>>>>>Stella. What's so great about a crappy, overpriced Welsh lager (stella) anyway? Oh, and Youngs and Fullers aren't lagers.
