As a Home Counties boy from the Thames Valley I have been slumming it in Hampshire for the last 60 plus years.
cr 11 69-36 . nice old area, 3 blocks from banking area where most of my business comes from (gastro pub). 147 maybe has changed alot, some really big ass apartment blocks are there now and traffic is a nightmare
Where do you live in the Philippines? I live for 6 months of the year in Silang Cavite.
You and me are neighbours jonny.
I lived in Wood Green back in the day, but escaped to Muswell Hill in 1992. The air is fresher up here - quite nice if you don't mind being surrounded by gooners.
About 16 years ago, remember the big pub on the corner opposite Wetherspoons and the Cinema complex across the road. Was there waiting for a bus on a Saturday afternoon when there was a riot and a young lad was shot outside of the Odeon. Chaos to say the least! Not a good neighbourhood, gangs of feral youths roaming about late at night. Lovely place lol
Yeah, it's a bit lively at times, lol.
Always was rough as all **** - why I moved out (well, the ex missus insisted really).
That pub was the Nags Head btw - called something else now, the Goose and Granite I think. Used to do cheap doubles, the foulest tasting gin or vodka imaginable, for about a quid..

Used to have a few mates who lived on A block (Aylesbury estate) back in the day. Not a nice place to walk around during the day let alone at night , I don't think the police sirens ever stopped !
I do see Ray from time to time. I used to deliver the post to Konk recording studio, when I was a postman in Crouch End. Brian Eno had a flat on my walk as well, and Dave Vanian (The Damned). Vanian has a hearse parked on his front lawn for a while.
One occasion a few years ago, I was driving a minibus full of Polish contractors through Highgate Village. Ray was bowling across the zebra crossing outside The Flask, so I waved and he waved back (he doesn't know me from Adam). Elated, I turned to the Polish guys in the front with me and said "hey, that's Ray Davies!"
Got some blank looks and a "who da **** Ray Davies?"
Yes its not the best around there
Muswell Hill is nice. I
I go to Crouch end if i want to get away from all the scum bags that surround me and my family.
I am a 20 minute walk from the new ground that spurs will play in also
