Edgy MD wrote: London Neighborhoods Ranked by a Guy who Has Never Been to London, but is Dimly Aware of the City, Mostly from Rock Records 1) Soho — It's where Roger Daltrey woke up in somebody's garden and it was the epicenter of all that was swinging in 1968. Also, Shane MacGowan snogged some girl there while taking shelter on a rainy night, and I'd like to do the same. 2) Mayfair — On the London Monopoly board, Mayfair is their Boardwalk. Also, it's where some hairy-handed gent was spotted by Warren Zevon after he ran amok in Kent. 3) Waterloo — Sure you can take in a play at the Old Vic, but if you don't want to watch a sunset with Ray Davies here, you and I can't be friends. 4) Hampstead — God damn it, when Chrissy Hynde describes fat cats driving past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids, she specifies that she doesn't mean a Hampstead nursery, and I can only conclude that Hampstead has the finest nurseries in the world. If you want to fuck with rich House of Lords kids, this is clearly where to find them. 6) Covent Garden — Robyn Hitchcock says he's been hanging round here for centuries, and I can only conclude that it's clearly never boring. 7) West End — If you're gonna go nuts, pointing a gun in your hand at your head, kicking in chairs and knocking down tables, this is the place to do it. Otherwise, there's probably a Miss Saigon revival you can take in. 8) Brighton — Go to the beach, or rumble with The Stray Cats — really, it's up to you!! 9) King's Cross and Euston — It's where the Pet Shop Boys found themselves lost and it's where I can visit the British Library. 10) Notting Hill — It's where Mark Knopfler formed The Notting Hillbillies and the epicenter of some of the Londoniest parks. 11) Kensington and Chelsea — All the best museums are there, even if Elvis Costello didn't want to go there. 12) Shoreditch — Rod Stewart didn't want to get married there, but it has a badass name and I think it would give me some street cred to be able to claim I've been there. 13) Islington — Apart from the lovely strolls upon the canal, Marillion identified this as where The Thief of Baghdad hides, presumably when he's not in Baghdad. 14) The City — The Jam says there's a thousand faces here and they're all shining bright. Also, the kids there know where it's at, so this is a place I'd totally want to check out on my first visit to London. Plus … St. Paul's Cathedral!! 15) Camden — A world-famous market, and The Devil Moon took Shane MacGowan up here in pursuit of a London girl. Good
