Peckham
Peckham once ran a fair so rowdy it went on for three weeks a year until it was abolished in 1827, and the place has spent the two centuries since refusing to take the hint. Dulwich is right next door for anyone who wanted south London without the Saturday nights. The people who moved here because it felt edgy are now the ones emailing the council about the noise.
