i think i can make central london from here in 15 minutes by train from rickmansowrth station.
so suprised (and fucking happy) people dont look at the outskirts with easy acess in. village life and 15 mins to the madness.

how come you (seem to) spend so much on clothes, but live in tottenham? (no hate)

because I have lived here for years and quite like it,I've lived in hackney etc and it as much if not more of a shit hole,the only thing you loose up here is trendy cafes and bars, which to me is not a problem, as living up here suits the rest of my needs well. also means I can buy a house rather than a box room.

honestly im amazed with spurs fans lack of general knowledge of how their club runs.
and im shocked how this was allowed to happen...

"Spurs have agreed a £27 million funding agreement, which will include £18 million directly from Mayor Boris Johnson’s £50 million fund, put together in the wake of the riots in order to regenerate affected areas. Of Boris’s overall budget, £20 million has come directly from central government to be invested specifically in the Tottenham and Croydon areas as a result of their being the worst affected by the riots of last August. What this figure will include will be £6 million invested via Haringey Council in highways and parking improvements, and a district-wide heating and power scheme, with the remainder focusing on public transport and infrastructure improvements. A further £9 million will also come from the coffers of Haringey Council ‘towards new and improved public spaces, heritage work and environmental improvements in North Tottenham"

That's crazy that over half the fund is going towards their new stadium, quite surprised I haven't read about this somewhere either.

moving to london start of july, location confirmed as city now, walking distance from monument, bank, fenchurch st, liverpool street etc.

want to be able to walk/cycle to work, where would be a good location, not too pricey (have plucked a figure of £600/month, is this realistic?). have heard good things about bermondsey.
