London's "No-Go" areas.

I’m going to be in London this weekend. Any updates on which stops on the Northern Line I should avoid?

I should make it clear that I’m not scared of terrorists, Muslim or otherwise. I just have a morbid fear of finding myself surrounded by men with big beards and sleeve tattoos, who are eating breakfast cereals during the day and playing boardgames in public. Hipsters scare me.

You should be safe on the Northern Line as long as you don’t walk East from Old Street.

Yeah, good illustration, Yorkshire being a backwards area populated by simple uneducated and uncurious folk compared to Lancashire being at the forefront of modernity populated by dynamic and progressive go getters!

Are Dotheboys Hall and Mr Squeers still around in Yorkshire?

I dunno. Hipsters get *on* the tube in places like that, but in an ironic way.

Be afraid.
 
Here's a classic I read in the men's room on the Canning Town tube.


In Canning town did live a student named Kenzie
who sent all the Heads into a frenzy.
She took the cane with grace,
while maintaining a beautiful face,
and a body that was nice and bendy.

Hang about, not so fast.
If you are on the Northern line already you can't just jump to Mornington Crescent. It's a dual junction. You have to transit via the Central line (unless the Huffing rule is in play of course)

Now that the hipster posh guy with the fierce ginger beard, Viv Stanshall's popped his clogs, you should be safe at Finchley Central (ten long stations from Golders Green on the Northern Line).

I think you'll find it's now pronounced Clarm.

Viv's been dead for years.
(A fire? Or was that just his house boat?)
