Interesting, I've had lots of friends whove lived there, all very alternative, all with drug problems lol. They've always described it as awesome, just wondering if its still such an interesting placeIt's been a cultural melting pot for decades.
Great music scene especially reggae/dub./jungle etc but very eclectic scene really, great food / arts etc... UK's most alternative type city imo and has a pretty awesome energy goin on
Loadsa shite too of course, baad drugs problem, all sorts social problems etc as you'd expect with such a place
It's also been a bit of a victim of it's own success etc, losing a bit of it's authenticity perhaps, but still far too-cool-for-school
If I were going to visit and was into alternative bars, clubs, shops. Music wise jungle, house, general bassy as fuck skank music are there certain areas that are good to go to?
