Leyton one of the coolest suburbs in the world

[Adz]

Was reading this, and laughed out loud when I saw Leyton was number 24

Easily pleased some people. Only one reason to visit Leyton

As one of the most deeply uncool people on earth, I can confirm this list is accurate, as I have never been to any of them (except Leyton, natch).

[Proposition Joe]

Hardly a suburb.

Annabels still there?

[Long slender neck]

Bizarre isnt it? Cant wait until my suburb is enough of a dump to be called trendy

[Dunners]

St Pauls in Bristol at No.6. It's been a while since I've been there but "cool" would not be the adjective I'd have used to describe it.

[Real Al]

Doesn't cool just mean - once edgy, now full of yuppies, but not yet as expensive as Hackney

Done Leyton and Strathbungo (No 22) on the list so I'm uncool too but slightly less than you.

Really glad I sold my gaff in Twickenham Road for £58,000 now.

Grew up in the Bungo. Only got cool when I left in the late 70s.

I find it hard to believe that Strathbungo is a real place

I find it hard to believe that Strathbungo is a real place

It's real and close to Crossmyloof which is also a pretty fabulous name

My comment online about the article:

Cared to omit the omnipresent toxic atmosphere on the air where it feels it’s always about to kick off. Whether by the tube, on the High Road and in certain crackhead and dealer hotspots or where young gang members hang around malevolently.
I love Leyton more than I can say but like a lot of inner-residential London, it is not ‘cool’ and I would never dream of raising children here.
