black cab drivers definitely the worst due to their 'anything goes' kind of attitude, esp in central London-trying to navigate a bus in central london is ridiculously hard given the way black cab drivers just feel they can stop anywhere to drop people off and they pull out completely out of the blue.


After that I'd say (some) cyclists are pretty awful. many are just too slow- it's all very well choosing to cycle but many just aren't up to the job of driving on roads in London and inadvertently hold up full buses of people because they just can't keep up to speed level.

Do you drive a bike? No. We're talking about four wheeled vehicles.


And as a cyclist I'd say the worst (so most dangerous) are in order:


Local authority bulky rubbish vans

Addisson Lee/people carrier minicab types

Delivery vans other than Royal Mail vans

Royal Mail vans

Lexus drivers

Ruskin Private Hire

Motorcycle couriers

Clarkes coaches

Skip lorries (AKA cycle killers)

Black Cabs

Old Volvos with one front light

Hipster driven scooters

Modern Mercedes Benzs

Builder vans pre-8am before hangover has softened

Demented costermongers leaving East St Market of an evening.

Just stand on Charing Cross Road and count how many cars go through red lights and compare with how many cylists go through red lights in 30 minutes.


Yesterday all the cars and pedestrians parted to allow an ambulance through a red light followed by ... you guessed it a Mad Cyclist someone took a swing at him but he missed.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
