pepper: Pepperpot (Scone)
Heeheeheeheeheeee! There's a thing called Nightmares and Dreamscapes on at the moment, a Stephen King TV adaptation, and everyone's telling these American honeymooners in London, "Crouch End! No! Don't go there! Arr, 'tis not a place for strangers!"

I'm very familiar with the place. It's urban and busy and literary and has the most fantastic bakery. And where they've gone is TOTALLY not Crouch End, in any way, shape, or form. I mean, it has its spooky aspects - it's fairly near Highgate Cemetery for a start - but this is... not it. *is amused*

*looks it up* Yeah, I can understand Stephen King being inspired by Parkland Walk, though.

(Fun facts: Gillian Anderson lived there when she was a child.)

*chuckles* Don't you love it when they do that, and you recognize it for what it is (or isn't, as the case may be).

Hee, yes - and London appears often enough on TV, and I'm familiar enough with it, that I get the chance quite often. :D

^_^. Like in Harry Potter, when Hagrid walks Harry to Diagon Alley? ^_~
