It's even worse up there!
Caporegime
Leafy country villages is where I live and where I plan to stay for the forseeable future. Yes it's boring, but it's oh so pleasant and peaceful, and there's always Birmingham or Stratford when you want a bit of excitment. The worst kind of oikdom you get round my way is 16 year olds trying to get served in the boozebusters down the road.
Cities like London - you can keep em. I used to live in Maidenhead and that was paradise compared to Croydon.

Got 4 rockets and launched them up the main road, lying flat on the ground....

I'm staying down near the airport in Croydon on Saturday night, are the pubs full of vermin around there?
Possibly, also if you want to go to a bar/club on saturday TigerTiger is your best bet as it is 21+, all the idiot 17years olds will be in yates,lloyds and loop.

Cheers, not planning on staying out too late as I've got to be up stupidly early, that could all change if the beer has it's wicked way with me though

Croydon is a bit of a hole, but you get used to it.
Worked there for years but our office moved to Wimbledon a couple of years back and while it's a bit more of a pain in the neck travelling (Coming from Bromley), the relatively civilised nature of everything in Wimbledon makes up for it.
Even Croydon has the odd Oasis of peace and culture, you just have to know where to look.

Really? Are we talking Croydon postcode or town centre? The postcode area is really rather large and plenty of nice places are encompassed.
I live in Coulsdon
Hooley here
Croydon isn't so bad, I grew up in Addiscombe which is far enough away from the town centre to be nice. It's not anywhere near as bad as people make out but the town centre isnt anywhere i'd like to be after 7. Not as bad as parts of Crawley though.
East Croydon is manic because it's got so many connections plus the tram so a lot of people go through there.
Saying all that, i'm glad i live out in Hooley/Coulsdon now. Thanksfully the small tescos that opened recently means I can acutally buy something after 6 in the evening lol.
Have you never been to Swindon?
