Reputation of London Suburbs

[asea]

I've worked in Wembley & would say that it is pretty rubbish! It's one of the few places that I have not felt safe whilst walking around at night and is generally very grim.

yeah Wembley is not that great, i think the nicest place in NW is mill hill, NW7.

The pubs are fantastic in Mill Hill too!

i agree, the bell is very nice, the hammers e.t.c

I ended up living in Watford - close to the mainline British Rail station. I used to catch the local Silverlink commuter train to Euston and would get there in just 20 minutes. Even with the cost of the rail pass I found it a whole lot cheaper to live there than to live in one of the London based postcodes.

I even took (during any non-rainy day) to walking from Euston across town to just North of Fleet Street (often faster than catching the Northern Line then the Central line).

yeah watford is great, great shopping, nightlife

if you dont need to be near an underground station i suggest watford or somewhere in hertfordshire, radlett, borehamwood e.t.c

but even without underground you can still get into city via overground trains thameslink, silverlink e.t.c

The huge Watford Tesco is my favourite supermarket - could spend all day there. Do miss some things from home, but certainly not the weather

Not sure about storms in the mountains as we live much further down the country. For me, the weather in Argentina is great. It is supposedly autumn now, but today the temperatures are still around 28 degrees and many people are still on the beaches

I was a Sainsburys lass. They had introduced those nifty hand scanners that allow you to scan your own shopping and checkout really quickly! I moved later to Cheltenham and the local Sainsburys there didn't have them.

I think I left at just the right time though; they were doing a huge amount of new road construction north of Garston & around Leavesdon (around the film studios) which really began to get on my goat.

Still, I was pleasantly surprised to find a Subway had opened up in the Parade (this was after my first jaunt over here).
