Hi, what's your name and what's this all about?
My name is Emmanuel Mustafa Goldstein, editor in exile of the Hampstead Village Voice the
local satirical magazine for Hampstead
OK
Yes, it's quite funny and it has a go at Camden which we call SCAMDEN, TFL and various other
powers that be that want to basically turn Hampstead into some sort of cash-making money
cow so that they can...I don't know what they are doing with it really..but it's not what
it was ten years or fifteen years ago. It has lost a lot of its bohemia and diversity.
What's the best thing about this area?
The Heath.
Right.
Because they haven't touched that yet but they are actually planning on putting dams
in there. It's unbelievable the things that they do but a lot of it is jobs for the boys
I think.
And which are the best pubs?
The best ones are closed. Actually the Rosslyn Arms was the best but it closed in 2012 - a
real killer that. That was the last bit of proper Bohemia going, it was young and it
had a bit of joie de vivre. The Flask is still quite good erm I would say the King William
was good but unfortunately I was told to sod off, it's a brilliantly situated little pub
Did they kick you out?
Well the landlady got nasty with me for taking a photograph of the creperie next door which
they have been having an onrunning battle with. Unfortunately I went in and said can
I have a look at the picture and she took a picture of me and I went and said can I
have a look at the picture and she said....
Oh excuse me I have a customer
