Last week an Israel-based journalist sparked fierce debate online after crudely sketching a boomerang over a corridor of London and unflinchingly stating: 'Almost everything outside the banana is horrible.'
Stretching from the tip of Barnet in the north, straight through the centre of the capital and down towards leafy Richmond-upon-Thames, Saul Sadka wrote: 'As long as you stay within the banana, you'll have a great time in London.'
Smug locals living in banana territory basked in their victory, boasting of celebrity neighbours, trendy cafes on their doorstep and roads safe enough to walk their designer dogs. Seemingly anyone who lived outside of the boundary and had seen the post on X was outraged.
In hope of finally settling the debate, the Daily Mail poured over all of the available data to uncover whether life inside the banana really is better – and the results were fascinating.
