* Neighborhood to turn your nose up at: Notting Hill. (Any area that has a romcom named after it is off-limits, unless you're an oligarch.)

* Neighborhood to pretend to turn your nose up at while actually secretly loving: Hackney (London's Park Slope).

* Neighborhood to proselytize about without ever actually visiting: Peckham (artisanal-cheese shops and Taiwanese-bun pop-ups, or so we've heard).

* Neighborhood to loudly denigrate without ever leaving: Soho.

* Famous restaurant a true local wouldn't be caught dead in: the Ivy.

* Dish to pretend you love: offal.

* Meal to pretend you hate: gastro-pub-fare.

* Where to say you shop: Knowing Savile Row and Jermyn Street won't cut it. Try Chiltern Street, in Marylebone, and Lamb's Conduit Street, in Bloomsbury.

* What to complain about: the weather, gentrification, and traffic. (Never mind that you're likely contributing to at least two of those.)

* What to cheer about: snagging tickets to a Premier League match at the Emirates (Arsenal) or Stamford Bridge (Chelsea).

* Every bit as good as advertised: Tate Modern, Claridge's hotel, Mayor Sadiq Khan's handling of unwanted interference from overseas powers.

* Avoid at all costs: Oxford Street, the Chiltern Firehouse.
