[/caption]Yes. That's right. You've heard it here first. I am making the move back from the South to the North. Of London that is.
Five and a half years ago I left the dirty streets of North London (Archway to be more specific) for the leafy greens of Clapham Common. I can't say it's all golden in the south. If you've ever been on Clapham High Street on a Saturday night somewhere near Infernos, you'd know what I mean.
Moving happens a lot. I know. I've lived in 22 places in the last 30 odd years in 6 different cities. But London is the city I've lived in the longest in any one time and I've lived in my current house longer than I lived in any other house. So you can imagine I'm excited but also a little sad.
In a way I don't want to move. But my landlord gets nothing done and raised the rent by over £300 4 months ago and my flatmate can't afford it.
So I'm going. And before I leave, I am making a list of the things I need to do down south that'll I'll miss when I go.
- Go to a show at the BAC
- Have a picnic and a kick about
- Go to a day of a festival on Clapham Common
- A night of music upstairs at the Ritzy
- A wander through Brixton markets
- A pint on the sunny banks of Richmond
- A day at Hampton Court Palace
- One or two or three more movies at Clapham Picturehouse
- Have a go at as many restaurants and pubs as possible
I know this isn't much but that's where I'll need your help. What things do I need to do in south London before I'll go up North? And yes, I know I'll still be in London but I also know how often my friends visit. So I don't think there will be a lot of trips this way.
