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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
