The trees that were sited on the pavement near the curb along many roads are getting far fewer.

How many of you can claim an original tree of many years growth outside or near to your home?

Any idea what Road / Street / Lane / or Avenue (That is named for trees in it ) still has any?

The one outside next door remains today although others I remember have gone.

It's the same tree!

I was always terrified of climbing up that outside staircase perched on very small piers of bricks to the top floor, where my mate lived.

Next door 311 another mate lived, in the war he was seventeen and joined the ARP Wardens, he was in bed one night when an aeroplane exploded overhead and a large part came through the roof, he was killed in the small front bedroom on the top floor.

    • WoW Sue, all guns blazing. 
    • So you don't feel safe in London, but you don't want to live elsewhere? What do you do, barricade yourself in your home and never venture out? I have my eyes (sic)  open. Yes there is crime in London. That doesn't make London "lawless".
    • Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass.  Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality. 
    • Also, as discussed on another thread, that particular  assailant was possibly (we don't know)  mentally ill. Whereas I'm guessing most crimes locally are   committed for money, (ie things that can be sold, or in hopes of insurance money), food (if someone is really desperate, or to sell) or just pure mischief (like the recent goings on on Peckham Rye). I'm a 76 year old woman, and I feel safe on the streets, and I frequently go to Central London. If you seriously don't feel safe living here, why on earth don't you go and live somewhere else?! It's absolute nonsense to say London is lawless, and it's absolute nonsense to say the police stand by and do nothing. There will always be crime. It used to be cutpurses and highwaymen. And organised gangs of thieves. And people like Jack the Ripper.
