Is this where we live or what?

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:02 (eighteen years ago)

oh good point, its what you like best

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:03 (eighteen years ago)

no NE :(

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:05 (eighteen years ago)

another chance to get annoyed at people slagging off W or SW because they spent 5 minutes there once, noticed an industrial estate in the distance and then a parakeet shat on their Cornetto.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:09 (eighteen years ago)

No one ever really talks about 'North East London' though - it's either 'North London' or 'East London'. Maybe there's a case for Tottenham and Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill though.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:11 (eighteen years ago)

Also where is Central London?

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:11 (eighteen years ago)

Gareth in using London postcodes to denote areas shocker

― Vicky, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:13 (eighteen years ago)

Central London, Matt, is in the middle.

― the next grozart, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:14 (eighteen years ago)

WC and EC are also London postcodes

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:14 (eighteen years ago)

oh, just saw gareth's note to that effect and now feel foolish

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:15 (eighteen years ago)

the postcodes are the correct delimiters. it is not possible for it to be otherwise. sometimes you might get a little surprised, but its just one of those things

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:17 (eighteen years ago)

would anyone tick a postcode area they don't currently live in?

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:18 (eighteen years ago)

Bradford is the only part of Britain I've ever heard people refer to where they live by their postcode.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:18 (eighteen years ago)

Argh, I picked my postcode, but that's not my favourite. I think I prefer SE to SW. But it's a tough one.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:18 (eighteen years ago)

like its weird that theres a tiny bit of E8 that is west of the A10, but its just how it has to be

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

tell me about this bradford thing dom, i have not heard of this

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

would anyone tick a postcode area they don't currently live in?

Not me, but I live in my dream postcode. SE1, BABY.

― ledge, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:19 (eighteen years ago)

heard leeds people talking about the ls6 but not in bradford

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:20 (eighteen years ago)

yeah LS6 is like a cult, there are t-shirts and everything

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

Have I told you I did a month at the Telegraph and Argus, 600? Anyway, while vox popping on the streets there, when asking people what part of Bradford they were from I'd get a lot of "BR7" or "BR9" or whatever. Might be a young kids thing, dunno.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:21 (eighteen years ago)

I suppose this has seeped through to the Midlands as well, though:

There's another one, where I used to live, thank to two weeks a year of BBC tennis coverage.

BD7 and BD9 both prolly students. how come you ended up working at the telegraph & argus? where did you live? where the hell did you go out? did you wonder what that empty space was where you thought a city centre should be?

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:24 (eighteen years ago)

Bah, B14 for life

I didn't vote for where I live.

― Michael Philip Philip Philip philip Annoyman, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:24 (eighteen years ago)

It was when I was at Trinity and All Saints doing my journo training, they couldn't fit all of us on... whatever Leeds's main newspaper is called, so some of us were trucked off to the T&A (and papers out in Harrogate, Headingley, Otley, etc etc) instead.

Bradford reminded me of a run-down Anglian town, Corby or the rougher parts of Bedford or something. There's a really good sandwich shop near the T&A offices, though. Mango ploughman's on sliced granary. Lovely.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:27 (eighteen years ago)

No one ever really talks about 'North East London' though - it's either 'North London' or 'East London'.

There's quite a good reason for this, and one which also illustrates how pervasive the postcode thing is in London.

People don't talk about north-east London because the NE postcode was given (not unreasonably, I suppose) to Newcastle upon Tyne. Trouble is, it threw all of London's postcodes out of whack, logically speaking, so it's like north-east London doesn't exist at all!

(I picked E before reading it was meant to be about favourites not where I live - I'd have gone for N otherwise)

― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:28 (eighteen years ago)

My favourite postcode fact is that while they appear numerical, they are in fact alphabetical: N2 - East Finchley, N3 - Finchley, N4 - Finsbury Park, N5 - Highbury etc etc, which explains their apparently random locations.

― Daniel Giraffe, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:32 (eighteen years ago)

I say I live in North East London now and then tho just saying 'Hackney' usually suffices.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:36 (eighteen years ago)

great knowledge, daniel!

― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:38 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure ppl talk about North West London either, do they? I wouldn't know, I don't know anyone who lives there.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:38 (eighteen years ago)

if you knew someone who lived there i'm sure they would say 'i live in North West London' now and then.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:41 (eighteen years ago)

off hand does anyone know if there's a thread along the lines of 'how proud/attached to/defensive are you of where you came from?' i would like to read that right now.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:43 (eighteen years ago)

Inside London and yet not.

People say "Liverpool Eight". And not just in reference to Boersma knocking one in against Stromgodset.

Wiki says: Following a report by Anthony Trollope in 1866 most of the NE district was transferred to the E sector; the rest was left without a letter designation until the introduction of the IG and RM postcodes almost a century later (though only a part of the area covered by these new codes was in the old NE London district). The S sector was divided between SE and SW in 1868.

The alphabetical thing breaks down for where I live (unless you call it Xstl Palys), but picks up again thereafter (SE20=Anerley) before the "special case" of Thamesmead.

― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:44 (eighteen years ago)

SW20 exists because SW19 has too many letters boxes, I think.

Can we also talk about telephone prefixes? 788 and 946 are kosher; 789 and 947 are, like SW20, just extensions I believe.

― Mark C, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

This is a bit anoraky, but wikipedia lists Southeast London thus:

SE1 Head district • SE2 Abbey Wood • SE3 Blackheath • SE4 Brockley • SE5 Camberwell • SE6 Catford • SE7 Charlton • SE8 Deptford • SE9 Eltham • SE10 Greenwich • SE11 Kennington • SE12 Lee • SE13 Lewisham • SE14 New Cross • SE15 Peckham • SE16 Rotherhithe • SE17 Walworth • SE18 Woolwich • SE19 Upper Norwood • SE20 Anerley • SE21 Dulwich • SE22 East Dulwich • SE23 Forest Hill • SE24 Herne Hill • SE25 South Norwood • SE26 Sydenham • SE27 West Norwood • SE28 Thamesmead

Hope this is of some use.

― Daniel Giraffe, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:49 (eighteen years ago)

(OK, very anoraky)

― Daniel Giraffe, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:51 (eighteen years ago)

yea the lack of NE isnt because of newcastle, ne was transferred to e before newcastle had postcodes. if you are around clapton you can see some old streetsigns with NE on then, theres a couple around brooke rd

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:51 (eighteen years ago)

se got some later didnt they, sw is alphabetical but twice, with 2 head districts, which is why they appear to get to the end and then start again alphabetically

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:52 (eighteen years ago)

oh! my bad. my observation was admittedly based on no facts whatsoever, just what made sense to me.

if you knew someone who lived there i'm sure they would say 'i live in North West London' now and then.

I definitely said this back when I lived in Kilburn/Queens Park (NW6); but I dount I'd say it if I lived in, say, Camden (NW1).

― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:56 (eighteen years ago)

nw1, nw3 and nw5 'feel' like north rather than northwest. but...the postcodes dont lie

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:58 (eighteen years ago)

nobody would say 'north west' re Camden. i blame Suggs.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 13:59 (eighteen years ago)

they would for the purpose of this poll

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

i consider Camden practically central London myself - or where it starts if you're southbound.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:01 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah it's true, I voted NW because I love where I live but it's central London really, the phrase 'north-west London' makes me think of weird places like Tufnell Park.

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:05 (eighteen years ago)

LOL tufnell park is N7!!! its next to gods own holloway!

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

ok bad example I guess

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:13 (eighteen years ago)

i lied when i type LOL. i didnt laugh out loud at all, i didnt even laugh on the inside. i had a frown

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

its gone now

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

Bradford is the only part of Britain I've ever heard people refer to where they live by their postcode.

My sister has been known to tell people she lives in SW19 to make them think she lives in Wimbledon (rather than Colliers Wood).

― Madchen, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:17 (eighteen years ago)

is there a thread about the east end postcode wars? my mum asked me if i'd got "caught up in them" recently. bless. i just ~~swat the little tykes away with my cane~~ run like buggery whenever i see anyone younger than 37.

― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:37 (eighteen years ago)

Ross Kemp claimed in a recent interview that the majority of London gang violence stems from an incident where one man stod on another man's foot in a fried chicken establishment.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:39 (eighteen years ago)

That SW19 thing is confusing. I ended up tramping around in torrential rain yesterday because I thought that Computer World was in Wimbledon when it was really in Colliers Wood. Bah!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:42 (eighteen years ago)

Was that a sarcastic LOL then Gareth?

― Anna, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:42 (eighteen years ago)

good use of three exclamation marks in a row. you don't see that so much these days Gary.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

I thought Computer World was in Düsseldorf?

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

Who can tell the shape of his mouth behind his beard?

― Ed, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

I feel like the north London post code queen at the moment due to spending far too much time talking to letting agents. Who are all about ten. The police, they're not getting any younger, but the letting agents probably spend their downtime starting turf wars in fried chicken shops.

― Anna, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

Anyway, I went for a straight up N (I was going to say 'on the rocks' but On The Rocks has an E postcode.)

― Anna, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:45 (eighteen years ago)

what is On The Rocks like inside? i am sort of fascinated by it because of it's fascist dystopian exterior.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:47 (eighteen years ago)

I was in Hackney at the end. Bloc Party went in the same pub as us. Apart from that it was lovely.

― the next grozart, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:49 (eighteen years ago)

it has a sort of apron stage and it's black and it's really hard to see if it's full, so your standard London venue really. Last time I saw a band there I ended up sitting on the bar to see.

― Anna, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:52 (eighteen years ago)

it's a horrendous crack-hole full of cunts, steve. present company honourably excluded!

― CharlieNo4, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 14:57 (eighteen years ago)

There's been a big drift SE-wards among London ILX recently but this is still N vs E fite I think. The split North London vote will hand this one to the East I think.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:00 (eighteen years ago)

Personally I think 600 is not really trying with this poll. He should have entered every area in his Enormous List Of Places In London.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:01 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, SW alone covers a multitude of sins; you could be bang in the middle of town (SW1) or on the outermost edge of the sticks (SW20).

― Marcello Carlin, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:10 (eighteen years ago)

oh dont worry, we'll have have one for each, soon enough

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

do you think the north vote will be split between n and nw mdc? i dont see it, there arent many nw boosters on ilx

― 600, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:15 (eighteen years ago)

I'd kind of assumed places like Archway and Highgate might have an NW postcode but apparently not.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:18 (eighteen years ago)

NO. archway is on our side

― 696, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:20 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry, 180.

― Matt DC, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:21 (eighteen years ago)

There must be some Camdenites here. No?

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:22 (eighteen years ago)

I'm moving to North East London tomorrow. It does exist! Who cares if the postcode is E.

That said I voted N, cos I live there now and will miss it, but it costs too much.

xpost if Archway & Highgate were NW, where the hell would North London be? There'd just be NW and E!

― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:22 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure ppl talk about North West London either, do they? I wouldn't know, I don't know anyone who lives there.

matt didn't you go to a house party in NW, like, two nights ago?

on the rocks is vile and unhygienic, i never want to go back there.

kidz in london refer to their postcodes all the time. there's a song on the new wiley album called 'e3 bow' or something.

oh yeah e, obv.

I went in the Lock Tavern for a bit on Sunday. I noticed the 'NO OLD PEOPLE' and 'NO BIG SUNGLASSES, NO ENTRY' signs on the way in.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

another bar, 55, back nearer Parkway end was absolutely dead but much nicer.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 15:28 (eighteen years ago)

It was hard to move in the Lock, last time I was there. I had to queue to get in then queue to get into the room I wanted to go in. I think I would've quite liked it if I could move though.

It is surely the king of "postcode areas" and I wish I could vote for it a thousand times. What is "SE"?

no no no

it doesnt include hampstead garden suburb (n2) or tufnell park (n7), ok it might have bits of them, and hgs feels kinda nw-y but then it feels kinda finchleyish all that bishops avenue business, and thats n,

I do. I once walked there, drunk, after an all-night party, from Shoreditch. It could have been worse; I was aiming for Moor Park. I later found out that when I gave up I was barely 2/3 of the way there.

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

Do you even know Colindale?

not as well as Graeme Park (dj roffles)

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:19 (eighteen years ago)

There is a shopping centre in Japantown here in SF that is SUCH a ripoff of Yaohan Plaza.

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:21 (eighteen years ago)

It's Oriental City now, all sorts of Asian foodstuffs available, not just Japanese.

― ledge, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:23 (eighteen years ago)

Although it might be knocked down and replaced with a B&Q.

― ledge, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

Oh! I think I knew that, maybe. It's all so hazy.

xp

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:24 (eighteen years ago)

I used to go to the arcade in the Yaohan Plaza to play that isometric Sonic game.

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

I think I played DDR for the first time ever there. And I got this idea that I wanted to buy a Japanese suit from the tailor by the escalators.

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:26 (eighteen years ago)

"NW" inlcudes Camden Town, Neasden, Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage, HENDON, BRENT CROSS, Tufnell Park

It DOES NOT include Tufnell Park!!!!!!!

― Tom D., Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

7 exclamation marks! i didn't think anyone would be able to do it but pulled out of the hat right at the death! take that 600!

― blueski, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:30 (eighteen years ago)

I give up then. Hey, I know and love Tufnell Park. Someone above called it "weird'!

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

7 exclamation marks for N7!!!!!!!

― Tom D., Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:31 (eighteen years ago)

What is postcode for Tufnell Park?

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:32 (eighteen years ago)

See above. It's not weird, it's "Spaced"-land!

― Tom D., Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:33 (eighteen years ago)

Shaun of the Dead land also - ie pretty darn weird.

― braveclub, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:38 (eighteen years ago)

Shoreditch to Colindale -- that's really impressive.

― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:05 (eighteen years ago)

I put in NW, but Hendon (where I lived) is quite conclusively shit.

― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:06 (eighteen years ago)

I like it.

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

My husband used to live in Hendon, I'm not sure he liked it very much. We used to live in Finsbury kind of between Kings Cross and Angel and I absolutely loved it there but it doesn't really fit with the choices. I guess it's kind of N so that's what I'll go with.

― ENBB, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:12 (eighteen years ago)

NW (which totally includes Tuffers, why not?) cos it's my home, but I like SW as well.

― chap, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

1)'Shaun of the Dead' land is Crouch End / Hornsey Vale.
2) Tufnell Park is N.
3) I too have wandered drunkenly through Colindale many years ago after falling asleep on the final tube and waking up at Edgware.

― Nasty, Brutish & Short, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:44 (eighteen years ago)

Haha! We Edgwarians are used to the sight of poor folks like you! The number of times I FINALLY got home after a long ride back from the centre of town and saw people open their bleary eyes and say "SHIT, WE'RE IN FUCKING EDGWARE!".

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:46 (eighteen years ago)

I've only done that once. I got in a black cab at the Edgware station roundabout, and the first thing the driver said to me was "Fell asleep on the train, did we?"

― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

And then he drove me home to Hendon, which cost $$$

― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:53 (eighteen years ago)

Isn't there a NIGHT 240???

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:54 (eighteen years ago)

I bet this never happens in Morden.

― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 17:55 (eighteen years ago)

You paid in dollars? Edgware has a black cab black market economy?? It's not Lagos or something, you know!

― admrl, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:00 (eighteen years ago)

Shaun of the Dead land also - ie pretty darn weird.

I was just about to get all huffy and protest that Shaun of the Dead was in Crouch End, which I still feel protective about even though I don't live there any more. Still has an N postcode though.

― Anna, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 09:38 (eighteen years ago)

ffs people, tufnell park is N19 ('upper holloway'), it's not NW anything and it certainly ain't N7 (which is holloway proper, get it riiiight 696). Also it is the gods' own land, of urban and suburban areas the jewel, oh how happy i am when i have escaped the oxfordshires and oxfordstreets and may see it in safety, etc etc etc.

I was in yaohan-plaza-as-was yes! I haven't been there for ages, the selection in oriental city actually isn't as good as that in, like, the dinky little pink shop off the finchley road.

― c sharp major, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 10:37 (eighteen years ago)

some of it is in N19 and some of it is in N7

would you agree that the tufnell park halls, huddleston rd, n7 are in tufnell park?

campdale rd, st georges ave, the western part of tufnell park rd (most of it in fact), anson rd, etc?

― 696, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 10:56 (eighteen years ago)

personally i think a little bit rolls into nw5 as well. admrl can have that bit if he likes

― 696, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 10:58 (eighteen years ago)

To be fair, Tufnell Park straddles N and NW (though you could call the NW5 bit, where I live, Dartmouth Park, but that would be poncey).

― chap, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:49 (eighteen years ago)

but it is dartmouth park, now way does tufnell park stretch up there. the bit of tufnell park that admrl can have is the bit just south of the station, and just west of brecknock

― 696, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:50 (eighteen years ago)

success!

uh i mean OKAY yes lots of tufnell park is in N7, fine, I was wrong, I associate N7 with the seven sisters road. actually I am now really confused, N19 seems to contain a load of stuff i always thought was NW5.

― c sharp major, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

you will notice how us E dwellers do not get involved in such arguments :)

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 13:56 (eighteen years ago)

you should associate N7 with the things that are in N7

Have I become a sort of pariah on this thread? CHAP, one of my (and Chuck Tatum's) very good friends lives in Dartmouth Park and he is NW, so maybe this informs my skewed vision of Tufnell Park.

east finchley is almost up-north!

― jel --, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:20 (eighteen years ago)

Compare it to Perivale.

― admrl, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:21 (eighteen years ago)

East Finchley is so far north, I've never been there.

There's not much in Perivale.

― jel --, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:23 (eighteen years ago)

It's Way Out West. There are factories and storehouses and football pitches in Perivale.

― admrl, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 17:24 (eighteen years ago)

I prefer Alperton to Perivale.

But, this is all academic, I'm the only person who is gonna vote west. You can't fight hegemony.

stoke newington, lewisham, battersea, east ham, hammersmith, hendon lol

PITIFUL showing by the east!! surprising showing by the SW, well done them. good work team SE as well, less surprising than it might have been a year ago

but how did E do so badly??? there'll be tears on the streets of leytonstone tonite. there are reports that e's manager is saying that some of his team didnt realise what was actually E, but frankly this is just sour grapes and worthy only of relegation candidates like admrls nw

― 696, Friday, 11 May 2007 06:01 (eighteen years ago)

I think many of the East Londoners defected to voting for North or West (Blueski I'm looking at you!)

Plucky showing by the SE, we are happy with our tournament and the progress we have made under new manager Jurgen Klinsmann.

― blueski, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:04 (eighteen years ago)

first place i think of for each:

N - Hampstead
SE - Greenwich or Lewisham
SW - Richmond or Putney
E - Bow
W - Acton
NW - Willesden or Harlesden

― blueski, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:10 (eighteen years ago)

it's the E or W in SW/SE that seems stronger so i never think of Brixton, C Palace etc.

― Nasty, Brutish & Short, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:12 (eighteen years ago)

SE = South Bank! Oxo Tower Wharf, National Theatre, London Eye! Surely the most famous page of the A-Z is the one with the river curving round, Westminster on one side and SE1 on the other.

I should have done this repping before the vote. Still, can't be miffed with 2nd.

― ledge, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:13 (eighteen years ago)

Is Hampstead N? I thought it was NW. I am one the east-dwellers-voting-for-north.

not enough exclamation marks in your post NBS! please try again later!

i think Hampstead because that's what i think of when i think North London, so N has the same effect tho it's inaccurate. silly N, unfair on S etc.

― blueski, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:17 (eighteen years ago)

I think Crystal Palace counts as solidly SE and may account for SE London's strong showing (ie half of London ILX seems to be moving there).

― Matt DC, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:18 (eighteen years ago)

Anyway, first places I think of:

N - Holloway Road or Wood Green
SE - Lewisham/Blackheath/Greenwich
SW - Battersea/Putney
E - Hackney and Shoreditch
W - Kensington
NW - Wembley

― Matt DC, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:19 (eighteen years ago)

I suppose this means I have a skewed view of South of the River as being open and green and North of the River being dense and urban even though it's surely 50:50.

No, there really is a lot more parkland south of the river. Unless Richmond Park doesn't count (KT postcode?), in which case the south needs to clump a few of its bigger suburban parks together to cancel out Hampstead Heath. But may still win.

I think of:
N - Finsbury Park

But Bromley proper is BR3! The borough of Bromley is vast - you can drive SE through miles of open countryside (most of which is utterly unLondon) before you leave it.

Marble Arch. i thought you would be thinking of 'White City' at least (not that there's much to think about there i guess). have you been down to Shepherds Bush on your lunchbreaks?

yeah I have but frankly it feels like the moon, not west london. MO2, maybe

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:57 (eighteen years ago)

Camden has an NW postcode and is in north-west London, why the confusion?

hmph. fairy nuff on the postcode i guess but it's straight up from Oxford St which I hardly count as West London. I know it's called the west end but surely these days it's pretty much the centre.

― ledge, Friday, 11 May 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

..oxford circus i meant

Yeah I keep having this discussion with people, but the City is still technically centre of London, dunno why people think it's Oxford Circus, I mean why pick such a shitty replacement anyway?

im not hardhearted, i do have some sympathy for the argument that camden, kentish town, dartmouth park, gospel oak, and, i guess, belsize park and hampstead should be n and not nw. but...not enough i guess

my mental centre is centrepoint

― 696, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:05 (eighteen years ago)

same here

― blueski, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:06 (eighteen years ago)

But 696 if you are going by postcodes as you say, you can't make Centrepoint the centre!

― braveclub, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:06 (eighteen years ago)

i know, its a subjective viewpoint

although isnt centrepoint wc1?

― 696, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:08 (eighteen years ago)

i mean there are only wc and ec postcodes, there is no c

― 696, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:09 (eighteen years ago)

True but WC and EC are two halves of the City, so the centre should be in the middle of it.

― braveclub, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:10 (eighteen years ago)

Also if you walk west of Oxford Circus you quickly end up in nowhereland. I kind of like this area but it definitely doesn't feel like central London at all.

― braveclub, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:18 (eighteen years ago)

Same for if you walk east of the City...

― ledge, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:20 (eighteen years ago)

true

― braveclub, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:21 (eighteen years ago)

That means that I work in the centre of the city! Most of Mount pleasant sorting office has an EC1 postcode, but WC1 starts the other side of the road from us, and we've got a WC1 postcode so our post comes to our front door rather than the main Mount one.

Actually, if Postcodes = God's own truth, then Mount Pleasant sorting office = the centre of London.

― Vicky, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:21 (eighteen years ago)

I consider Charing Cross Station and Trafalgar Square to be the 'centre' of London but Centrepoint is a good shout as well.

I once scoffed at Tim's suggestion that the exact centre of London is actually the Fleet Street McDonalds but now I think he may have had a point.

'Central London' ends at Marble Arch to the West, Waterloo and London Bridge to the South, the Old Street roundabout to the East and the Euston Tower to the North.

― Matt DC, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:23 (eighteen years ago)

― Matt DC, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:28 (eighteen years ago)

Ha I just picked my own arbitrary centre point between marble arch (w)/liverpool st(e)/camden (n)/elephant (s) and in streetmap right where I picked it said CITY OF LONDON. But the actual point was Holborn Cirus.

― ledge, Friday, 11 May 2007 11:28 (eighteen years ago)

Actually I might have clicked a bit far west.

― Matt DC, Friday, 11 May 2007 13:22 (eighteen years ago)

Hmmm,

West = Acton, Ealing, Hanwell, Southall - has to be within 15 minutes walk of the Uxbridge Road.

North West = Brent/Harrow, egads.
South West = Richmond
South = Brixton and the like
East = Anywhere east of Centre point, with a 45 degree radius.
South East = Kent and the countryside
North = that place I don't go.

― jel --, Friday, 11 May 2007 16:40 (eighteen years ago)

if you include richmond as part of london surely that's got more "green area" than hackney

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 11 May 2007 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, but Richmond is the end of the North London Line! It's the part of London I'd like to live in. But pulling hairs, yeah, 'tis Surrey.

On Oxford Street, there is a posh ladies "powder room", called WC1! I think that is now the centre of London. That or Primark.

I have realised in recent years that getting to London is easy! Ealing is 6 minutes to Paddington, then you can get a bus!

i really like that stretch between the two places, esp. when you go right past the Trellick and then can see Westbourne Park station on the other side.
