I'm Scottish - have lived near Stirling, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Newcastle before coming to London. Stayed near Wandsworth Common initially which I liked aside from lousy transport (or let's just say infrequent), then Bow which was far too concrete for my tastes and then to Forest Hill.

I like London in general - there's lots on and I like the cosmopolitan atmosphere (and Cosmopolitans) and the general level of tolerance that results. And I like our general area - Forest Hill and East Dulwich. I know more neighbours here than I have anywhere other than my original home. I like our local shops and our transport links. I think we're blessed with beautiful, easy accessible green spaces and it's a pretty safe place to live.
