Britpick Question

I was just wondering the name of a street where people might hang out who are goth or punk, teenage or college age.  A good place for loitering where they are tolerated and don't really get chased away too much.  It's for Zeppelins.  Thankies.

Um - groups not really tolerated anywhere unless it's a youth club - when i was a teen, groups used to going to the ice rink as a place to gather.

Pouting

Urmm they might hang out in the local park after dark, for the most part if they're not upto much they get left to it.

Or I'd say McDonalds or Co-op would be your best bet (for the life of me I fail to understand the attraction in hanging about outside these places).

Also any form of corner shop seems to attract the youths.

As a youth myself (admittedly not a goth or punk xD) there are no specific places where teens hang around - if you're in town, you just wander. So anywhere in a city centre, really, would suit your purpose.

That's what it's like with my group of friends, anyway. ^^

Yeah, the city centre. In Glasgow, we have a lot of Goths etc hanging around outside the big museums and things on the steps. And in my small town there's two like squares which have benches/flowers/band thingy where youth tend to hang out as well.

Late at night it's the shops, the park, or just around the streets, but maybe the centres/town square too.

If you're talking about London I'd have to say Camden market, there's mountains of shops geared toward goths and plenty outside seating in the food market area. Although everyone would sort of hang round there so its not really specific (this is only based on my trips over to visit my friends in London)

Kings Road.

Well, if your story was set in the seventies... *has been listening to too much Sex Pistols*

So don't take me at my word. So I'd go with Camden.
