Birches and pines and other miscellaneous trees gather in an isosceles shaped corner on the western edge of the park, leading out towards Middleton Road and the nice but rather impersonal characterless residential area which is called London Fields. There are nice early terraces, some elegant, some cute, interspersed with new housing, new flats, few pubs and shops, lots of cars, and lots more money than twenty years ago when I used to cycle round here.

"impersonal"? "characterless"?
Do you come here often?
London Fields/Dalston is a great place to live. I agree with what you say about the prices though; but you know, thats what happens when places cease to be the shitholes they once were...
and actually, it's not 'called London Fields'. That's a misnomer. Its 'Mapledene Conservation Area'.
;)
Yeah, but if someone asks you where you live in London, you would say "London Fields", rather than the Mapleden Conservation Area", wouldn't you?
