From you see a costa coffee open up on totty high road you know what time it is tbh

R.I.P Body Music

[Sole]

corporate coffee stores are not what attract these types lol

nah if you lot are saying u have met people that are in those types of property's then fair enough I'll take that back but I still don't think it will be anything like the east spots anytime soon.

[Marly Mar II]

People been sayin totti gonna be the next hackney for years

can't ever see it happening

but I'd rather live in Tottenham or Edmonton over Enfield any day of the week.

pmsl

yh?

[Captain Planet]

It's more a story of cheap rent, cheap commercial space to do art studios, graphic design etc. and good transport and access into the City

Seven sisters is ripe for the taking

[Badman]

 

Totty is turning that way. I know a lot of them types who live round seven sisters/turnpike lane sides. 

 

f*ckers

 

Yep I have a few hipster friends and Seven Sisters seems to be the where most of them are congregating and getting house shares etc. 

 

Which is good for landlords, less good for people renting round there who could see rents shoot up and them having to move even further out.

 

 

so bait tottenham is the next hipster central

 

Even spreading towards white hart lane/fore street major redevelopments happening in that area

 

The area is perfect. Lots of disused warehouses/storage locations waiting to be snapped up and converted, perfect transport links and new stadium as well.

 

Saw my first yuppie group as well in the small sainsburies across the stadium, immediately thought to myself 'it has begun'

 

Got my spacious 2 bed new build flat in white hart lane worth £200k at the moment. Am desperate to move as the area is waste in general for raising kids but thinking of keeping it as an investment. Expect the prices to rocket within 10/15 years time

yh don't even class Enfield as London.

[imhim]

from when you see:

 

starbucks

 

pret a manger

 

strada

 

foxtons

 

you know what time it is in certain endz

[Sole]

which ends haven't got those?

[LS]

I'm torn whether to invest in Tottenham or Edmonton (A406 ways that they are doing up)

 

I probably missed out on tottenham already but they are investing so much money in that area that eventually poorer people will probably have to move out. Seven sister has changed alot recently (people wise)  Not to mention when Spurs does the stadium the whole high street will change with the possibility of better transport.

 

Edmonton sides near the cash and carrys (edmonton/chingford/tottenham hale) is all getting done up with new flats and walking distance away from overground/underground.  Not sure of the surroundings though.

 

 

I'm not going to live in neither places or even if i did, would only be for a short term.   Going deep into Enfield is long for me.  Especially transport wise.

[dub]

yeah peckham/brixton seem to be the places people are heading to

seven sisters will get there eventually

investing further up from white hart lane is a slow game really

[JOHN DOE]

brixton got to that stage in 2012

Finsbury Park is well on the way too, was sitting outside the station waiting on a friend the other day and was noticing all the people walking around.

[Sole]

yh but that doesn't mean they live there tbf

wireless is in Finsbury park this year and they have already had a few concerts plus you have the emirates and good transport links...but it's still not trendy like that and fp will change before Tottenham.

[Captain Planet]

Newham is seeing redevelopment in localised patches, it will stay a hole for the foreseeable future

Royal Docks wont be anything like Canary Wharf

I've actually sat down with the man behind the Stratford Regeneration project and asked him about this, he's actually quite disappointed in what it has become, 'Islands of wealth amongst oceans of poverty'.

Well it was 7pm on a week night so not like people were visiting for some event, people coming out of the train station most likely coming back from work.

London is a mad city STILL.

One minute you are on one nice neighbor hood, you take a couple turns then you are in a complete shit hole.
