Roz - I'm not going to try to sell Upper Street and the Angel to you - I assume you already know what is there.

However, I do have some questions about your assumptions, as stated above.

Why do you say H&I is at the wrong end of the Holloway Road? I'd much rather be at that end than Archway. Pubs, clubs, gig venues, restaurants, all at the H&I end of Holloway Road.

Plus what is wrong with being near Hackney (not really on the border of Hackney - it's quite near Dalson, but even that is 20 minutes on the bus)? Any better than being near Catford or Lewisham?

Like most areas outside the central area of London, people will visit because they have friends and family there, or because they are familiar with the area and what it has to offer. I am sure the residents of H&I feel the same about us - but I hope they aren't all making such sweeping statements about SE23.
