And why?

I'm gravitating towards Storybrooke from OUAT

Mordor

RainbowBrite41 · 11/07/2019 00:29

Oh goodness, I would love to live in the enchanted wood too! Have a massive desire to try pop biscuits 🍪

HarrietSchulenberg · 11/07/2019 00:33

Finmory House. With my own chestnut Arab, long red hair and the sea and moors stretching out around my home.

I think I would live in a Poirot novel. Hopefully not as a murderer or victim, just as some wealthy estate owners or travellers on a cruise down the nile. I think I would have enjoyed Agatha Christie's life too.

Narnia

pallisers · 11/07/2019 00:42

Barsetshire.

BoronationStreet · 11/07/2019 00:46

Obvs the Harry Potter books.

BlankTimes · 11/07/2019 00:53

Pern, see Dragonriders of Pern books by Anne McCaffrey.

Or Roke Island in the Wizard of Earthsea books by Ursula leGuin

Grey Sloan Memorial / Seattle Grace

I would do bad, bad things in that on-call room with Alex Karev 😏

HopelessLayout · 11/07/2019 01:16

Narnia. I always wanted a talking horse.

Rachelover40 · 11/07/2019 01:28

I'd like to live in gentle sunshine, beautiful surroundings with a lake, tall trees, wonderful flowers and animals, including dinosaurs - but I would want to be safe so would have to be invisible to the animals; I would see them but they wouldn't see me.

AGirlCalledJohnny · 11/07/2019 01:49

itsreallyallovernow Same! I’d have a glorious yellow stone ramshackle house covered in honeysuckle, dogs everywhere, and apple logs burning in the grate as I drink g&ts and eat smoked salmon in between mad bouts of creativity I’d be handsomely rewarded for. And be having mad “affaires” even though I am still bats about my DH Grin

BritWifeinUSA · 11/07/2019 01:49

I often thought I’d like to live in Coronation Street. People love to the street and get a job right away, walking distance from their house. Factory workers and shop assistants can afford a pub lunch and drinks every lunchtime and more drinks in the pub after work. I’m not a big drinker. I’d just like their job security and hourly wage.

BritWifeinUSA · 11/07/2019 01:50

People move to the street...

Mumberjack · 11/07/2019 01:54

@happygiraffey me too, I’d love to live in Sylvania!
Although thinking about it, they’re all very ‘traditional’ and families are segregated - maybe the village newsagent sells tiny copies of the Daily Mail Grin

Mumberjack · 11/07/2019 01:56

I’d also say Albert Square as they all manage to live in massive townhouses while working a market stall and with no commute, and all manage to the pub daily. Would need to plumb in a washing machine though.

pastapestoparmesan · 11/07/2019 02:31

Trebizon School. And either Tish or Joss‘s for the holidays!

Nat6999 · 11/07/2019 02:48

Chalet school, all that fresh air, early nights & cold baths might sort me out (I might even marry a nice doctor)

DuchessAnnogovia · 11/07/2019 04:49

I have a few choices, I'd love to live in Lancre in the Discworld and join up with the witches. Larkrise or Candleford. Ambridge. Rivendell.

Meangirls36 · 11/07/2019 04:58

Yeah quarks for a bevvy then a town called Eureka

MrsWilkinsonAthome · 11/07/2019 04:58

I would like to spend a term as a pupil at Malory Towers and hang out with the Famous Five in the hols.

Once I get bored of that I would move into a beautiful Cotswold rectory in Penscome and be best friends with Taggie Campbell Black and enjoy her cooking.

Meangirls36 · 11/07/2019 04:59

You would not like to live in lancre outside privys! Magrat could barely stand it in the castle

legalseagull · 11/07/2019 05:01

Lyra's oxford from His Dark Materials. I want a little spirit animal!

transformandriseup · 11/07/2019 05:03

To be a kid in the toy story universe - but you knew the toys could talk. And you could go to Pizza Planet.

I also want to live inside Assassins Creed Origins - the one with Ancient Egypt. It’s so beautiful.

transformandriseup · 11/07/2019 05:04

Also I’d love to visit The Shire/Gondor/Rohan
