Ham, London
Ham has a Jacobean mansion, a polo ground and a gate into Richmond Park, with a whole estate laid over gravel pits that London filled with its own bomb rubble. Even the riverside nature reserve grows the wrong plants because it is planted on bits of the Blitz, which is as close to a metaphor as a suburb ever gets. Buyers pay for the Richmond address and then spend every Saturday shopping in Kingston, the most honest thing anyone in Ham does all week.
