Uhm.

Barnet =/
It's a borough in London.

I don't particularly like it, but I love being in London, so it cancels out.

The best place has to be Merry Hill, although it does get nicknamed "Merry Hell".

I live in the north of Wiltshire, which is a county in the South of England, where some of the royal family live, where you can see stonehenge, and where people either have posh accents, or farmer accent (Im the former)

I'm from Norwich. It's a beautiful city in the heart of norfolk. I really do love it here, it has everything: history, new and old architecture, good shopping, good restaurants, good nightlife etc.

Famous people to live and grow up in Norwich are Delia Smith, Stephen Fry and Philip Pullman.

It used to be the UK's primary city, ahead of London.

Here's some pictures:
