Hello,
I'm moving to London in a couple of months, and i'd like to find somewhere
to live; i'll be working (well, PhDing) at UCL, so north/west London would
be good. Does anyone know the areas around there? I've already had
suggestions for Kilburn, Tufnell Park, Archway, Finsbury Park, and
Highbury; i've thought about Camden but discounted on grounds of cost :(.
So, if anyone has something to share (whether opinions on the places i
mention or suggestions for other places), i would be eternally grateful if
they could write about it on the openguide!
I'm going to ask on uk.local.london as well; i'll report everything i
learn back to the site.
Regards,
tom

or are they poststructuralist terrorists? perhaps we shall never truly know.
Up until now we've been using streetmap.co.uk as our 'provider of mapping
solutions' (to sound all corporate for a second). However, I no longer care
for Streetmap after discovering the awesome power of uk.maps.yahoo.com:
http://uk.maps.yahoo.com/py/lg:uk/lc:uk/maps.py?addr=114+campden+hill+road&…
versus
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=525117&y=180161&z=0&sv=w8+7ar&st=2&…
Note the greater detail, including door numbers and street directions, and
generally much better clarity (try zooming in to maximum on Yahoo! and
compare it to the above, which is already at maximum zoom).
I suggest that we prefer Yahoo! Maps for linking to.

As it stands, some Locale pages describe roads; I don't think this is
granular enough (e.g., Strand redirects to Locale Strand, which describes
the Strand).
The situation I set up for Brick Lane and Category Brick Lane reflects how I
feel we should abstract out the concept of 'locale' - "Brick Lane" is a road,
and as such exists in Category Roads; its locale is "Locale Brick Lane".
Locale Brick Lane itself is in Locale East London. I've been trying to
implement a locale hierarchy, in order that people looking at locale pages
can be given a vague idea of where the locale is located in London itself -
meta-locales, so to speak. If people could start adding these descriptors
(West London, East London, Southeast London, Central London, etc.) to all the
locale pages, then that would be great.
