"Crouch End is legitimately an occult portal. Seriously, have a walk around it some time. The eldritch and the uncanny always lurk in the corner of your vision. That's why everybody who lives there has a slight otherworldly air to them. Well, that and the fact there's no tube station."

"No-one wanted to live in Finsbury Park, but it was sort of in the right place and now they're just there."
