An area that is decaying is quite different from a blighted one; many extremely desirable ArEas show signs of physical decay, while many much less desirable ones are in clean physical shape. Perhaps you should think about clarifying what you want to ask?
Benji the man wants blighted and dodgy areas in London so give him some than or other wise keep stum sweet heart.
Okay than show us your list and we can all rip it to shreds like your trying to do with mine without no success.
The point is that London doesn't really have any areas that can be called blighted; there are areas that are poor, ugly, and undesirable, but none that are derelict or dangerous overall, and none that have the generation-after-generation hopelessness that I would think of as blightedness. There are streets and estates that might qualify, but not whole districts like those in your list.
On the other hand, if you want to say that an area is blighted by by an ugly edifice, in spite of being otherwise attractive, you'd have to say that the whole city is bli blighted. Here's the the Marylebone flyover:
Yea but its getting too far out, an earlier poster got the hump because he thought places like Daggers and Barking were essex rather than east London. Also i really struggled with east London but i thought i have to put something down so i put Chingford.
Bobs Barking and Dagenham ARE in Essex I didn't think anything. Get a map if you don't believe me.
Your list is a joke and you have no idea what your talking about. Crystal is right and Ben couldn't be MORE right!
I would advise most readers to disregards bobs' list, which seems to be the work of a paranoid or distorted mind. It includes areas ranging from the quite rough (although which are still basically safe for the most part), through many which, while a little shabby, are places where most ordinary people would be quite contented to live, all the way to those that contain many spots that are really quite up-and-coming. One can't account for paranoia, but it is, at least, possible to point out where it is at play...
Theres Barking on the right and oh yes theres Dagenham with Barking on the east side of London.
Or are you going to tell me this is not a map of London.
