Finsbury Park. And aside from the occasional smokings of weed, drunks
****ing against a wall, and one time when a dickhead in a chavmobile
was randomly throwing eggs at passers-by, I've genuinely not seen or
experienced any crime while I've been here.

I saw a guy steal a scooter cover near Finsbury Park. Oh, and there was
that mad imam guy. That's about it. That whole part of London looks scary
but is as safe as you can find.

In the first six months I lived in Finsbury Park, my ex-gf had £20
nicked out of the cash machine (she wasn't touched - they grabbed the
note as it came out).

We then lived there with no incidents whatsoever for six years.

Two years after I left, I did get a wallet nicked out of my (stupidly
slung over shoulder with pocket slightly open) bag while going upstairs
on a Routemaster in the bus station.

And that's it.
