All the bits of london that aren't really london but pretend to be - Bromley & Sidcup (north kent), Croydon & Sutton (north surrey), whatever the south essex equivalents are etc...


And Dalston. Fairly certain there are no actual buildings, just traffic that finally gave up and died.

blimey ... is there anywhere in London you actually like ?



though I do agree Thornton Heath is a bit of shithole ! NEWHAM ... East Ham in particular . all the streets look identical .. good Dosa cafe near the station though . Plumstead is weird , the Common is interesting .

North London.... (said only to remind people from North London how stupid they sound when the say "there is nothing in South London worth visiting"...)


yes... I know it's the middle the night but I can't sleep..... aahhhhh

Since then Peckham has completed its arrival, Forest Hill is now something first-time buyers can only dream of and I'm told Deptford is pretty happening now. Haven't been to see for myself, obviously.


I would say that the South Bank is now no longer worth visiting unless you love crowds and eating overpriced food standing up.

Disagree - fun for grown ups, fun for kids, such dense cultural content too (NT, BFI, Royal Phil, Meltdown), plus the freebies like Martin Creed's musical lift in Festival Hall for the kids, the terrace bar on the 4th floor for great uncrowded views etc etc And OK - eating isn't amazing, but the chains, given it's a tourist area, are pretty decent.

    • I wonder how much the rebranding is costing in total?  Could the money be used in a better way ? 
    • It's not fair to hold Corbyn's brother's views against him when he has never explicitly or implicitly endorsed them. And he has enough of his own terrible positions to criticise anyway.
    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead? Sorry Alice but we'll have to disagree on this one. This does not sound like kids just being silly; lobbing water bombs at each other is one thing, but targeting complete strangers out for a walk and minding their own business and trying to kick their dog is, in my view, no laughing matter. A group of 15 teenagers can be intimidating, not to everyone but for some it can be, especially if their behaviour is aggressive.  
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
