"Neighbourhood" is a song by Liverpudlian band Space, written by band members Tommy Scott and Franny Griffiths and released as the second single from their debut album, Spiders (1996), and their third single altogether. It was originally released on 25 March 1996 by Gut Records and peaked at number 56 on the UK Singles Chart, but it was later re-released on 21 October that year,[4] this time peaking at number 11. Outside the UK, the song reached number 18 in Iceland, number 22 in New Zealand and number 90 in Australia.
In September 2004, "Neighbourhood" was used by the BBC in an ident for their short-lived series Fat Nation. The line "Who lives in a house like this?" is thought to be a reference to Through the Keyhole, another BBC programme. The song is also on the soundtrack from the 1997 movie Shooting Fish.
