Does Highgate/Hampstead get problems?

Question

Know they are 'poshish' , but with overspill from rougher areas? Was just checking out googlemaps and saw that there are some rougher surrounds. Also info on Muswell Hill in this regard would be good.

Answer 1

Well, I live near that area, but I think I am from the 'rougher' area. So I suppose I'm the people you're trying to avoid.

Though I don't know what you think I'm going to do to you.

Drop my aitches and talk in rhyming slang, I suppose.

Answer 2

All over London you get this 'problem' of posh areas nestling snugly up against rough areas.  I don't know much about crime in Highgate/Hampstead & Muswell Hill, they are both in the borough of Haringey which is an area which has extremes of poverty & wealth.
