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).

EARLS COURT

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

PADDINGTON

Paddington is situated in North London and is famous for its green and the police station. Many of the shops along the main road have Islamic names on their hoardings and it is only a stones throw away from more affluent areas such as Warwick Avenue and Maida Vale. It is hectic but not vibrant.

NOTTING HILL GATE

Notting Hill is far too trendy for its own good these days off the back of that movie a few years ago but after walking down Portobello Road for nearly two and half years every day on the way to work I cannot help but hold a real affection for the area.

It is a strange area of London, one that has great wealth rubbing its shoulders with near destitution.

VICTORIA

This part of London never really registered on the map with me until the day I arranged me first internet date there. Or rather the lady in question Yasmine did.
