    I remember when parts of Notting Hill looked very bleak.......

    Oh, for a time machine!
  • Ditto to - which area do you mean? As we cant see it - we cant tell....

    Are you thinking of buying there? (ie presumably as its all you can afford). Or are you stuck there and hoping to get out? Or there is some "softening"/element of middle class taste moving in and you're hoping/downright planning to ramp that up and make the area look more what you are used to? (Don't underestimate what a determined "improver" can do to "encourage" other people to start that ramping-up.....).

    What are the circumstances?

    Erm, there is no link in your post, hence all the whacky replies.

    So, why not just post the link instead of deleting your posts?
