Brixton
Brixton has a windmill, a prison and the last stop on the Victoria line, which is a fairly honest summary of what south London offers anyone arriving from the north. It spent years as the place your parents warned you about, then turned into the place you couldn't afford, and plenty of buyers lived through both without noticing the switch. The people who moved in for the edge now write to the council about the noise the edge makes on a Saturday night.
