I was walking through Hampstead the other day and thought it'd be ace to live in the lovely parts just past the station.
So yeah, you?

Angel.
Thanks.
What, why?
Angel's so....average
nah
it's very nice round there
Buckingham Palace
^this
I'd have one of those really large rooms purely to build a lego town in.
Westminster
cheers
ahhh
good choice. the bit just south of parliament but north of vauxhall bridge road is great - narrow streets and huge buildings and the river so close and quiet at weekends!
marsham street / horseferry road
junction surrounding area.
exactly
right next to the thames, easy strolling distance to a lot of places and it has that nice deserted spooky feeling at the weekend.
westminster indeed
i'd live on trafalgar square. best night bus linkz EVAH!
the thames
Can we live in somewhere other than london?
I'd live in one of the big fuck off houses near where I live cos the location is brilliant but the house is too small.
...
No, you can't bloody live somewhere other than London, you chode. Who the hell do you think you are?!
:D:D
85% of the population
I AM THEM ALL
I was just thinking
Hampstead as well.
An underwater orb in the Thames.
Pretty much exactly where I live now.
Dulwich thanks
I already live there too which helps.
Exactly
Until you live here, I don't think anyone understands just how nice it is.
But Soho as well maybe.
For hedonist reasons. Just for a year.
i've lived there
and while its nice, it is a pain in the arse to get to/from.
But money is no object, so I'm going to build
a super-powered individual speed ramp. Just. For. Me.
To. Roll. Down.
The part that's
in Yosemite National Park or maybe Banff.
Soho
probably. either there or in Covent Garden or the bit of The City along the river.
I don't know if I could live as centrally as Soho
I mean, just popping out to get some milk I'd be greeted with LOADS OF PEOPLE. And I hate people.
My friend lives on Dean St and only pays a bit more than me. His flat is tiny though.
i'd love to live around there
i love the way the streets are like a warren. also i could walk pretty much everywhere i'd need to go. i found a flatshare on frith street for £160/week including all bills recently and i was so tempted.
how tiny are we talking? i live in a tiny flat right now...
His bedroom is also his living room
really small kitchen and tiny "bathroom" - without a bath.
sounds exactly
the same as where i live then...
^
for the same reason that i hate people too.
It used to be Hampstead.
Now I think maybe somewhere really central.
Old Coffee House?
Is this you or me we're talking about?
You just planted the seed.
I practically live there anyway.
I'm disappointed The Mucky Pup hasn't overtaken it yet.
They have Jesus Lizard on the jukebox, after all.
Hampstead, probably
though for best view
somewhere like Rotherhithe - where I can just step out of my flat/house and a couple of minutes' walk I'd be able to look towards central London along the Thames with Tower Bridge in the foreground. that'd be nice.
wouldn't it be easier
to have a nice flat/house on the thames in a nicer area?
well yeah
but that's still my favourite view of london from outside central london, and yes, i know that wasn't the question, and no, i don't even remotely care
I'd stay in Brighton
apparently they're putting in a new super fast line which gets to Victoria in, like, 20 mins!
If money was no object I'd by a really nice flat near the station.
Then use it jump on the train to come to London on Saturday?
Yeah? Yeah?
It's not built yet you momo!
But I shall hopefully be in attendance. Need to work out where I'd stay though...
Darcy! You're not thinking 4th Dimensionally!
Oh wait, you are.
Oooo the flats near the station
they are soooooooo nice, I would do that too and use the super line, beasides that Brighton will have free internet as standard by next year.
Free internet?
What?
two of my friends share a 1 bed place
in the north laine. split level maisonette place, absolutely beautiful and only costs them £700/month. makes me weep.
North laine, i want to live there, cept you will have drunks scowling up n down for 2 or 3hrs a nigh
HELLO!
That sounds pretty good
there are some bargain places to be got in Brighton, but a lot of shit holes as well.
Edinburgh
Cardiff
...
In the Gherkin.
And since money is no object, I assume I can just evict everyone else and install a death ray of some kind at the top?
You'd need a lot of dosh
to evict Swiss Re. Nice thought though.
"In the Gherkin."
i think you mean The Stealth Corps Tower?
...
I can't bring myself to call it a tower. It's more a nodule.
Stealth Corps Special Titty?
I'm actually really happy where I am now
but maybe a nice leafy bit of Canonbury. The only problem would be that the neighbours would probably annoy me more.
Highgate
Proper Highgate that is, not the almost Crouch end bit I live in now. In a massive house with a swimming pool.
I'd live where I live now
(on a really nice old leafy road in Brixton) but I'd have the whole house not just the top 2 floors, and I'd do the garden up and pimp the place out with speakers in every room etc.
manchester
wythenshawe
Lonsdale Square N1
Or Highbury Terrace/Highbury Place/Highbury Crescent
This place also looks nice
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-522918/Ukrainian-businesswoman-buys-worlds-expensive-home-London-80m.html
Or Princess Di's old gaff if they've managed to repair the acidic bulimia scars in the bathroom and in the flower beds below her bedroom window
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4722789/
Clink Wharf is really nice too
I spent a night there once. They have an indoor waterfall in the intereior space that connects the apartments
harringey
hmmm litter
Yeah
If i was a billionaire i would certainly still be living in Haringay, how silly of me
Leave Haringay alone.
It's not litter, it's just 'decorative refuse'.
Alexandra Palace
I would buy the building and make it into a pimping home.
The views from there would be amazing, and as money was no object i'd get a helicopter to take me places to avoid traffic.
Primrose Hill.
Definitely.
hi tom
i miss you x
Hi!
I miss you too. Let's go to the arcades and shoot stuff soon. x
i'd live in bloomsbury
or clerkenwell. i lived in halls in bloomsbury. don't think i appreciated it enough at the time. i was just like YAY! LDN! THIS IS WHAT LDN'S LIKE! ffwd to second year, living in SEVEN SISTERS. lol.
It's amazing to think that there are properties like this on the market
Holy crap
http://www.knightfrank.co.uk/webuk/flash/search.aspx
^so that didn't work
(it was a 25 bedroom mansion in N6)
the nice bits
between marylebone road and marble arch. or hampstead. or the quieter area next to regents park.
presumably i would have enough money to zip around in an electric car so the lack of transport links wouldn't be a problem.
My aunt stays there in the week
They are incredible houses. I stayed in one for a week when I was on work experience. Unbelievably nice.
But if money was no object, I wouldn't live in London.
primrose hill
or marylebone
I've seen some nice houses in Clapton where I live already
and I quite like some parts of Dalston
Near the Barbican would be good. The South Bank would be great, 'cept would be weird popping out for milk etc
But I'd actually really like to move to one of those huge tenement houses in Glasgow.
why would it be weird
popping out for milk?
Trig in Cornwall
i'd live in somewhere that
wasn't in london, thanks ;)
Stevenage
That's the dream.
That's where the £200 friend lives
Have a word if you're round The Muntings way. Ta.
Fournier Street
NELSON'S COLUMN
i completely forgot
one of the residential towers in the barbican!
Pimlico
Nice buildings, near the river, near the West End, South Ken, near Victoria and Waterloo, no plebs.
pimlico
is full of proles!
pimlico isn't that nice
i dunno
the stock white housing is REALLY nice. probably some of the nicest in london. the council estates, not so nice.
anywhere with a nice view from a roof garden
Brighton
Westminster
Instead I will spend quite a lot of time there and pretend I live there.
Primrose Hill
or those really posh houses in Angel/Barnsbury type area. Mmm, North London.
- - -
Clearly one of those six-storey townhouse jobs in Mayfair.
another one for Hampstead
or, one of the houseboats on the river down at Hammersmith/Chiswick. They're actually my dream homes. I pass them pretty often and when it's sunny and warm everyone's out on their roofs and whatnot having bbqs or a drink with their houseboat neighbors and generally having this idyllic life.
probably pretty damp, though.
..
probably somewhere in marylebone. or one of the townhouses in the west with an amazing private park. maybe wandsworth too...
