Canton makes BBC news

Re: Canton makes BBC news

Notting Hill hasn’t been cool for decades. Shoreditch hasn’t been cool for about 10 years, it’s just full of people who get the train in from
Essex now. Chelsea hasn’t been cool in this millennium. Covent Garden has never been cool. Brixton is still cool. Dalston is an absolute dump these days - since COVID it’s somehow de-gentrified. Hampstead has never been cool. Peckham is still cool. Kensington has never been cool.

Agree with you. A little further South of Brixton, Herne Hill, Balham, areas around Brockwell park etc can be fun as well. Notting Hill is awful as is Kensington.

I like Canton but 3rd coolest place to live in the UK is ridiculous

A decade of decay, that's what we're looking at. Smashing a shop window for a fecking cactus!

I would say the “cool” areas now are around the Hackney/Islington borders; De Beauvoir, Canonbury, the west side of Hoxton etc.

Haven’t lived in Cardiff for 14 years now, but a lot of mates live in Canton now and it’s a very nice place to visit.

So at least 8 Notting Hill, Shoreditch, Chelsea, Covent Garden, Brixton, Dalston, Camden, Hampstead, Peckham, Kensington are not as cool as Canton?

If you have to sell your organs to live there, it might affect how cool it is

Was with you until Peckham. Shithole.

They COULD be talking about the average temperature in Cardiff.

Suppose it depends on how you define ‘cool’. Would Londoners consider Chelsea, Covent Garden, Hampstead, Notting Hill and Kensington as ‘cool’ neighbourhoods - or think of them as mostly affluent, exclusive and touristy?
