HAMMERSMITH

Hammersmith is a famous area of west London notorious for being name checked in Clash songs.  Of course it has much more to offer than this but the trek there is such a fucking ache to get there (the Westway et al).

LEICESTER SQUARE

Scene of where all the movie premieres happen, Leicester Square is a real tourist trap that is always thick with hustle and bustle.

EARLS COURT

Earls Court is best known to me as the place where I popped my cherry.

KINGS CROSS

KINGS CROSS

Kings Cross is an area of London that holds the kind of heavy notoriety which will cause a person to shy away from visiting. However once the mask drops and you can tune out of being approached by homeless types and occasional prostitutes it is possible to find gold in the area.

This is yet another part of London where I have studied where my college was situated next to an acting school called The Poor School which has given birth to amongst other people Kat Slater from Eastenders (Jesse Wallace).

Kings Cross has two main music venues in The Scala and The Water Rats where over the years I have seen bands like Deerhoof, Les Savy Fav, Blonde Redhead and No Age perform.
