Its the most amazing place in London, and I've lived in Ealing, Edgware, Hendon and Willesden Green and I've been in most parts of London from Hammersmith, Stoke Newington, East Dulwich, West Hampstead, Camden .. enough.
Its just the amazing combination of colourful, wonderful people. -

@MatthewF. Welcome.
Before you overdo it - just to let you know I can be a bit grumpy at times. Not often mind, but it's there.

Wow. High Praise. @matthewf - you're clearly a well-travelled individual. Glad you've chosen to lay your hat here, as Paul Young would have sung. -

I've lived in Camden, Finchley Road, Fitzrovia, Docklands, Kilburn, Highgate, Walthamstow and others ... the moment I moved into Stroud Green, it felt like home. -

Hi, staplejack.
I've lived in Stroud Green for 15 years now, having previously been a resident of France, Portugal, Mexico and the US. I love the place but, let's face it, even Wells, Nevada (dried-up river bed, one shop, no bars, population 213 when I passed through) is better than Croydon! -

We are NinjaI only went to Croydon once. I bought a Roland drum machine from a vicar at his church. The locals had broken in and stolen the bands drums and guitars. So he decided to sell the rest and quit the spiritual music route. I imagine he went back to kumbaya, acapella style.

"Welcome to Croydon - home of Nestle"
So says the sign at the train station. What kind of claim to fame is that?
Nestle's social irresponsibility is so well documented that I'm staggered that they approved the sign. It made me want to leave, until I saw a tram! -

That involves defining the borders, and we've been there before...

I have a stroudgreen.org CSE (I can do markdown after 3 failed attempts and then looking up how). Can tosscat outline the O and A level pass requirements? Is that clever search thing O Level?
