This thread neatly demonstrates the polarised views that people seem to have about Surbiton. I have experienced some of the drunken problems mentioned here, but find them much less than most other places I visit - for example, I would not say that Surbiton suffers any more from this than Walton or Guildford.
The house prices comment is interesting as well as I have always seen the nicer parts of Surbiton to be more expensive than places like Tooting. Places like Berrylands and Tolworth are cheap, but I can think of many places I would move to before central Surbiton if I were looking for cheap housing!
Like stepping over drunks, walking around projectile vomit, crossing the road from a stabbing, slashing up against the ymca wall, flobbing on the Nationwide cash machine
Yep, have a merry traditional Christmas in Surbiton
yes - nice pool of fresh vomit outside my house. Still - nicely offset by the piles of dogmess in St Marks Hill. . What an unhygenic s***hole this country is.
Never lived in Brixton but Tooting was really cool but had to move to find low cost housing.Cant say i have ever seen much of an edge to Surbiton but rarely visit the YMCA end.

You're mistaking Surbiton for Brixton or Tooting mate!

Tooting ..cool? I was there last week and not one person in any of the shops I visited or the cafe I ate at had any coherent grasp of English.
Sounds like an every day tale of Suburban living or it may be a street theatre freeform installation sponsored by the Arts council or the Rose.
