you think that there's something unique about people who live in harringay that only they amongst all london are "accepting low level crime and anti social behaviour as normal."?
We haven't made it on to to "ILiveHere" yet, so it can't be that bad.

It certainly does come down to perception Kat. I've lived around the Stroud Green/Hornsey area since 1985 and haven't really experienced much by way of crime. I have to say though that these days I do get uneasy passing the informal herbal and pharmaceutical entrepreneurs who gather at Turnpike Tube of an evening.
Someone mentioned Crouch End in the thread - a couple of months ago Muddy Boots in Crouch End were using a locked door to vet customers.
