real traditional working class area


Explanation:
"popular" can sometimes mean "working class" - I don't know the area mentioned, so I don't know if it's relevant.

Other words that could be included if relevant include "authentic" or "gritty"

Otherwise I prefer Fiona's answer

agree  PeterIII: Interesting way to phrase it, but I think it works well. The photos of the places are what made me think of traditional/historic/nastalgia rather than popular or working class.
