Horrible places in London (1 Viewer)

[Zu]

I’LL START and do note that anyone who says ALL OF LONDON IS HORRIBLE will be struck down by my voodoo wand



(1) PORTOBELLO ROAD & MARKET. Antiques, tat and staling chip fat. I didn’t look at the clothes but the tarot suggested skids. What a NICE DAY OUT

(2) Wood Green Shopping Arcade. The Ugly little sister of the BARELY DECENT Wood Green Shopping Mall

I was kind of wanting to stay in and work from London for a month in a nice affordable and central place and omg

The Stratford Centre is the South East London equivalent.

The Stratford Centre is the South East London equivalent.

My first thought coming in here, but I just can't help love it's CHARM. Coming out of Westfield and walking through the Arcade makes you feel nice and ungentrified again.

 

[Zu]

I like the old Stratford shopping centre much more than Westfield but then I fucking hate Westfield

 

[Ellie]

I know it’s being demolished nowadays but the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre lasted at least 15 years too long.

Seeing as it's definitely London, I feel I can definitely add ROMFORD to the list. The Brewery shopping centre especially is where dreams go to die.

I can’t wait for the Stratford Centre to go.

The lovely PINK BUILDING? I mean God I like grim but there ARE LIMITS

I've never been but all signs point to THAMESMEAD.

Unless I’m missing some sort of IN-JOKE, Romford is NOT London

SOMEONE BAN THIS FILTH NOW

I once stayed with friends in Miles End. That was a horrible area, it’s my nominee.

It’s ESSEX. That’s probably a map of the London Boroughs, some of which we all know are meaningless. I give you THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BROMLEY

I have warned that awful @Kate about this but she’s not one to be told. Were you killed by a dog? It’s ALWAYS happening

 

[RS]

This was in mid-00’s so maybe it’s sanitised and gentrified now.

SOHO

CAMBERWELL

VILE

 

[Zu]

I think any notions of COUNCIL CHIC instantly die on their arse in London’s glamorous Camberwell

 

[Zu]

I’m not actually very keen on Greenwich (the market is tat central) and it is unsurprisingly a bit WITCHY. I’ve never got drunk there without it going weird

 

[Ellie]

CAMBERWELL

VILE

Lived there for one year and barely had a decent night sleep the whole time. Awful place.

Mind you, you can have a lovely day out on the Cunty Sark

 

[Zu]

This is a bit specific but that M&Ms store on Leicester Square. Rarely have I been overwhelmed by such a profound sense of utter meaninglessness

Now, in fairness, I don’t think the dogs actually kill anyone. They just eat the corpses.

But what about all the lovely boutiques and general sense of good mental health?

I do like the Turkish supermarket at the end of Ridley Road

 

[Ellie]

Walworth Road

 

[Kate]

NORTH END ROAD

Until you get to that church just before Fulham Broadway and it suddenly goes from SHIT to FANCY

 

[octophone]

Surely the right answer is FUCKING ALL OF IT.

I had to retire from Pro-Am Mornington Crescent because the field research was just too awful.

 

[Kate]

VOODOO HER ZU!

It’s not like she WASN’T WARNED
