I'm waiting for mine with baited breath. Maybe it will have arrived today and be waiting for me when I get home!

Camden/Islington area=Haight area (upper and lower)
Docklands and Canary Wharf=SOMA
Kew and Richmond=Berkeley
Bloomsbury=Hayes Valley
St. John's Wood=Noe Valley
Golder's Green=Potrero Hill
Covent Garden=Nob Hill (towards downtown with the luxury apartments, around Grace Cathedral)
Soho=Tendernob
Angel=Duboce Triangle
Southern Notting Hill=Cow Hollow
Northern Notting Hill=Lower Fillmore
Battersea=Lower Pacific Heights
Holland Park=Cole Valley
Hammersmith=Bernal Heights
Pimlico=Inner Richmond
Clerkenwell=South Park

Angel IS Islington (which is v diff from Camden) and, from the original posting, they may also border each other but there is an even bigger difference between Golders Green and Hampstead...

I guess I see Angel as a smaller portion of greater Islington, and for the general feel I feel that Islington is like Upper Haight, which is why Camden would be Lower Haight. . .I put them together because they border each other, as do Haight, upper and lower. And I agree that Hamstead and Golder's Green are very different.

@ChloeSF. Interesting, thx. And I should say that its a v v long time since I went to SF but I found it all pretty great -esp North Beach.

Its so long ago that I answered a phone ringing in the a public booth at Haight Ashbury (where I was looking in windows and thinking how lovely it all was) and was asked by someone who could see the phone booth if I fancied working as a hooker for the remainder of my stay... (I didn't)

Heyyy, I just happen to be born and raised in North Beach, and now that I'm back from London live in the Haight! Glad you liked it! HAHA at being propositioned like that! Good old Haight. . .
