Google Earth.

Or could it be the Ordnance Survey? Don't know exactly when they last did London, but the latest map I have of the area said it was printed in 2007 but judging from the errors in some roads & areas of building the mapping could be 10 or more years old.

Yeah, imagine a small airplane flying overhead in London. The noise must just be an intolerable intrusion in the tranquility and calm of our urban oasis. Bring back the soothing nature sounds of the helicopters, jumbo jets and emergency service vehicles.

You obviously weren't sitting directly under the buzzing drone of the plane passing directly overhead every 5 minutes while trying to read the Sunday papers in the garden. The jumbos are annoying but on Sunday they had started going elsewhere, affording the potential for a moments peace. Then this prat started his trips back and forth, back and forth. At least helicopters usually run out of fuel after 20 minutes chasing crims and burger off somewhere else. This guy was obviously refuelling in midair and had no crims to distract him from his flightpath over our garden.


Lets hope he's got what he needs around my house and has a route over your garden planned for next weekend Domitianus.

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
