4 - tesco

How can you possibly include Tescos in your top 6 list? True, it has a nice selection of stuff crammed into a little store, but the queues and check-outs bring me close to a breakdown every time I go in there.

The queues prove how good a shop it is. Its problem is it is too popular. Oh, and that they never open all the tills at once.

Underground, excellent bus hub, less 4x4 prams. Wigs. It all helps.

pubs, people, restaurants, cafes, local community website *ahem*, pizza.

no tourists and no passing trade from commuters mean that it keeps its neighbourhood vibe..

not sure tescos or karmenz are going to make it on to most people's list.

The tills and queuing system at Tesco's needs to be completely rearranged. The queues are enormous and prevent you from looking for what you want in some aisles.

Agree with the SG-love, though: Pappaggone, Jack's, pubs, lovely houses, the neighbourhood cats, excellent transport, etc etc

The staff at tesco's need to be completely re-arranged!

Noone mentioned Ms Featherstone. You just don't get that sort of entertainment elsewhere...

stroud green has better transport, fewer trendy nobs (without a k) and is generally less like 200 yards of a plush surrey market town dumped in the middle of hornsey. then again crouch enders don't seem to feel the need to justify why they think crouch end is better than stroud green, which probably says something.

Too many buggies in crouch end. It's tricky to walk down the street without a collision with a small person.

andy · June 2009

@injoke good point. It's like people from Manchester constantly saying why it's better than London and the Londoner's response is "eh?"

because living in london (or crouch end), you're given no reason not to think that anywhere else could possibly be better, yet living somewhere great but scruffy like stroud green, where you see smug self-satisfied <strike>southerners</strike> crouch-enders going about their self-important business, you feel the need to speak up...

I think the premise of this whole thread is odd. Compiling and comparing lists to prove that where you live is better than somewhere half a mile away. If you ask me, Stroud Green has a bit of an inferiority complex. A lot of things about Crouch End are really nice. It doesn't make Stroud Green 'better' to somehow prove that Crouch End is 'worse'.

apples better than pears, lol, have a good weekend everyone

Blackstock Road? What a hideous experience it is walking down there! I'm just greatful we dont have the CE desperate housewives brigade.

David · June 2009

I like Crouch End, and Blackstock. Clearly for different reasons. I also like living between them. I don't like Stepney Green or Peckham. Essentially, North London is my bag and I'd claim that it's better than the other bits of London, does that qualify as a complex?

phantom_user · June 2009

No that's fine. I think it's well established that North London is better than South..

Howdy, Stranger!
