A guide to living in North East London

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The best thing about this area is that it is directly across from Blackhorse Road Station, aka the Victoria Line. Without that, this area can be somewhat lacking, although there are some good things like the beer mile and the wetlands. I think it needs some work in terms of more cute cafes, shops or pubs in the immediate vicinity.
