I've only ever seen Chorleywood properly from a railway replacement bus to the comparatively 'ghetto' Chesham. Did look very.. nice.

I did quite a bit of prodding around on the website which ranks each neighbourhood by quality of living, the website itself can be found at http://www.neighbourhood.statist.../dissemination/
- the most deprived in London was just off Edgware Road (87th out of 32,482, beating figures for areas like Bow and Poplar by a good 140), quite surprising.

Nothing quite like visiting those forgotten childhood haunts. I got to revisit the street I grew up on last summer, which I hadn't been back to in 40 years. It had scarcely changed a bit.

It was the high point of my trip actually... a rich Proustian remembrance of things past and all that.

I suppose having dogs and police on the trail of the unknown intruder might detract a bit from that.

From the last few posts I'd say Metro Land seems like the ideal community. Here in the states they build themed subdivisions with godawful names like these...

People here don't even need sidewalks... but just drive directly into the automatic door openers and vanish into their million dollar suburban homes. So no one ever has to see anyone else.

That's just one of the many reasons I've chosen to live in the city instead.

When I was at school we baked bread by the Chorleywood method, which involved mixing the yeast with Vitamin C tablets to mek it prove more quickly.

That neighbourhood staistics page - does everyone get 'type in a postcode eg Clapham Park' or is that just me because I live in Clapham Park. Apparently, I used to think it was Brixton Hill. But Clapham Park, it seems.

I am a Trustee of a charity which owns a building designed by CFA Voysey.

I am a founder member of The CFA Voysey Society formed this year.

We would like to make links with other lovers of this famous Arts and Crafts architect.

Thank you for any help you can give.
