Balham. Lived there for a year and hated it. So many brunch places and yet always a queue. Like an even more non-descript Clapham, minus the only good thing in Clapham, the green space. Spent all my time in wonderful Tooting instead.

My theory is everyone who moves to “Stokey” is obliged to pretend it’s brilliant because it takes approximately 3.5 hours in any direction to escape it.

Very specific but I hate the Camden Sainsbury’s and I hate it whenever I see it. And Camden generally is massively overrated.

Islington, because everyone seems to be living in three storey houses they bought in the 90s for £18 and a packet of crisps

Shepherd’s Bush. Nothing. The void. Even a piece of shrubbery and a rustic worker standing on their own on a roundabout would be an improvement.

Brent. Never forgiven or forgotten truly dire trek to IKEA in Neasden. Hannibal’s Alpine crossing was faster.

Alan Partridge described Stoke Newington as a ‘pleased- with-itself North London enclave where, you could slap a stranger and feel sure they deserved it.

I’ve lived in Golders Green, Maida Vale, Shoreditch, High Street Kensington, Vauxhall, Stepney Green, Fitzrovia, Brixton, Battersea and St John’s Wood and absolutely all of them were shit.

But – and I accept that there IS such a thing as coincidence – YOU would seem to be the only constant/common factor in all those localities..

We couldn’t put it better than @youngvulgarian.
thanks all, this public emotional display of petty hatred has really cheered me up
I mean some of you are clearly hating on the wrong neighbourhoods but this is not an arguing thread, simply a venting one
