A friend just explained this to me – is it true?

  1. I think I am in the middle and maybe that is right as I live near the middle

  2. Let’s see.

    Orpington, Bellingham, Mottingham, Chinbrook = fun
    Muswell Hill, Crouch End, Hamsteap = boring

    Hmmm.

  3. Incorrect. I live in SW London and I’m old and boring. 

  4. I live in SW. I am also young and boring. Planning to move to NW next year. I am getting old but I plan to stay boring.

  5. South east is getting younger and funner. I reckon next 10 years or so becomes like east London used to be.

  6. Yes. I was 65 and full of piss and vinegar this morning when I went to work this morning in Westminster, but now I’m on my way home through The City, I’m 23 and absolutely ripped to the tits on the latest drugs.

  7. I think the WC1, WC2, EC1 and EC4 central circle needs a special marker – rich and a bit cunty

  8. This is certainly something a young person from east London would make

  9. Seems like just another one of those London memes made by someone who isn’t from London.

  10. Maps like this are drawn by uni graduates that moved here 6 months ago

  11. No, each area has its own young/old, fun/boring parts. You can have different vibes on the same road in London

  12. Yeah, pretty accurate for the most part. I live south west and everyone here is young and boring, including me.

  13. I’m in SE, and idk if I should feel flattered for being called fun, upset for being called old, or resigned because it’s basically the truth. 🙈

  14. this a surrey boy whonlives in chelsea perspective

  15. No. It’s more granular than that. Outside of zone 2 everyone is old and tired. Source: I moved from zone 2 to zone 3. 

    That difference between Hackney people and Walthamstow people is pretty stark. 

  16. Fun = poor
    Boring = wealthy

    That’s fundamental what this map is trying to say.

    IF you go with that for a sec (which is a big IF) then the vertical boundary on the north side needs to roughly follow the Piccadilly line and budge to the East in a few places.

    But either way, you would need a solid pub, quite a few pints and somebody with a thorough knowledge of the history of London to really get into it.

  17. SW definitely isn’t boring. But yes it’s becoming younger (in my opinion)

  18. By ‘fun’ he really means ‘edgy’ and ‘cool’. South west is absolutely fun if you’re a young professional or a young family
