Camden vs The Bush

I have decided it's time to evaluate living in Shepherds Bush as compared to Camden. (Obviously in a pointless and juvenile way). This wont be of any use to anyone thinking of moving from one to the other. But if you have small children they might be interested. That's my level.
Pro's for Camden: It has the best chips in London near the tube station; most of the kebab places are open till 3 am; you can walk in and out of central London from there; all the nothern line trains go there, you don't have to worry about which branch you are on.
Pro's for Shepherds Bush: There are two tube lines to chose from. It's near the Westfield Shopping centre. It's near a swimming pool. There's lots of Nando's; Sometimes outside the central line tube station promotional people are giving away free stuff and I got a free chocolate bar.
Cons for Camden: No free stuff outside tube stations. They kept closing the tube station. No Nando's. No massive shopping centre on the doorstep. No swimming pool on the doorstep.
Cons for Shepherds Bush: No best chips in London. Sometimes there are also promotional religious nut-cases outside the central line tube station, and they don't give you free chocolate, they just threaten you with hell for not being as big a fan of Jesus as they are. You can't walk to central London from there in 40 minutes.
But all in all I am loving Shepherds Bush. The free chocolate cancels out the free religious nut cases as far as I am concerned.
In fact, free chocolate cancels out just about all the worlds ills. Gordon Brown can still win this election if he utilizes this as a campaign strategy...
