Bad vibes in certain places in london

[stevens27]

Does anyone else just get a horrid feeling in certain places in london?

The only one that particularly freaks me out is Russel Square tube station. I feel so much sadness and get quite on edge down on the platforms and I don't know why! Does anyone else feel this way about anywhere in London?

I would absolutely love to live there.

Only because I'm angry that the escalators aren't working.

Yes @NewHouseNewMe and I think that’s rational for objective reasons, eg they’re clearly less safe than other stairs!

Yes, this exactly!

You’re both more rationale than me @Civilservant and @IsadoraQuagmire - I’m convinced an axe murdered awaits!

I didn't feel particularly safe at Angel recently. Was okay when I arrived at 5pm but leaving at 10pm, no

😂😂😂

A semi that’s a greenhouse in a cemetery for £6 mill

😂😂😂😂

Agree with Euston!

As for Bakerloo line at Waterloo. Not just vomit but shit as well.

The little corridor that gives you the choice of going straight on for Southbound & down the stairs to the right for Northbound - that is always a bit niffy.
However at least once a week, it stinks of shit - like a sewage pipe has burst. Revolting.
You hear tourists commenting about it!

Me too - that’s my lottery win house 😊

@RobBeckettsGiantTeeth I just don’t know how anyone can buy a house in any of those places and be happy with it. I’d feel on edge. And coincidentally I live where Rob Beckett comes from!!!

Canary Wharf. Just soulless.

That house!! 😍 I'd take it even if the axe murderer cost extra.

Ha ha!
Me too! It’s only a quick trot down the hill to Archway which doesn’t have dodgy vibes inside (outside is perhaps debatable) and Highgate which has the longest escalators. I know that trains don’t stop when the escalators aren’t working as it’s a heart attack waiting to happen walking up those stairs.

Shepherds Bush and bits of Hammersmith always give me a feeling of despair. Areas that changed for the worse in recent years. Not spooky but grim and depressive.

If anyone would like to buy me the Highgate Cemetery house I'd love it, but I can't help noticing how narrow the entrance to the garage is and thinking what a bloody nightmare it would be reversing in and out. And the trudge up Swains Lane every time you wanted to walk anywhere might get a bit wearing: the pavement's narrow IIRC. And how do you get deliveries if there's nowhere for the Waitrose van to park? Plus, having to carry all your shopping up three flights of stairs to the kitchen? I wish I didn't have such a practical head on me because it would be. amazing living there, and the neighbours would be quiet.

You arrange for your lobster to be dropped off by drone, of course ... and your cashmere armchair by helicopter

I love that the Highgate house has a picture of itself on its wall!

Have you been recently? The place is buzzing on the weekends with so many bars, eatery and things to do. It’s a lovely area.

Is it just me who thinks the Highgate house is a bad fit for its surroundings?
There is a house that looks like some kind of space rocket on one of the side streets around Highgate Cemetery and it just looks awful.

This one isn't so bad obviously, but much as it's a nice house it seems really incongruent with the area.

I'm such a gauche pleb. Of course you do. How embarrassing that I didn't know.

" buzzing" : bars" " eateries" sorry all that just puts me off 100 per cent

Canary Wharf is gorgeous! Not soulless at all. There’s a shit load of history, sailing, beautiful architecture with special touches (like Celtic knot details on massive skyscrapers)

Gardens and parks.

I love just sitting there and taking it all in! The history of that whole area is breathtaking and shocking.

My grandad worked on the docks and my maternal family lived over on The Isle of Dogs before the war. I feel such an affinity for the place and its history and think how much my mum would have loved how it’s all been regenerated. It’s amazing x

LOL - that is EXACTLY what I thought and how the road narrowing bollard plus kerb/road furniture is so close to the entrance.

Great minds.

At first I thought it didn't even have a garage which for £6m would be a big no from me. It amazes me how many people spend£MMM on housese in London with no off road parking.
