Honor man - your conclusion that ED is the "worst area in London" is based on a sample size of how many London areas exactly? Two? Three? You write later on that you have "always loved and lived in SE London".

Try Totteridge, Hampstead, Highgate, Muswell Hill, Chiswick, Fulham, Clapham, Wimbledon, Richmond...and don't even get me started on the posher inner Zone 1 and 2 neighbourhoods.

Seriously, calm down, ED is not half as overrun by the Bugaboo Brigade as many other places.
