Living in London city

[sasguru]

Dull, grey, over-priced,...no community feeling. .

But enough about Switzerland. And skint as well, eh Francko.
Worry not, though, at least Switzerland has legalised euthanasia.

I think the London of 20 years ago was another city

True, but my bit about checking the area out in evenings and weekends still stands.

Sysman in

a) I didn't realise a pedestrian zone could be so dusty
b) I didn't realise it's the 4-5 o'clock route home for customers of a local hight club

mode.

I lived 50 yards from Barbican Tube - loved it. Walk home from work then over to Holmes place gym for a swim.

Not quite so good for kids.

There's loads of flats being built just east of the City, especially east of Leman street. (say 25 minutes walk from Barbican, probably less to wherever you work.) Some old office buildings are also being converted. (Look not just at the east side of Leman street but the backstreets to the east of it as well.)

Sounds good, do you know which agents are handling them?

Carringtons, usually. That's where I had my BTLs.

Or comt to think of it: Ludlow Thompson and Felicity J. Lord

I can tell you that close to the center for me means being able to leave your home and walk there in 5-10 minutes. Luckily I can do that.

Are you able to walk to Shoreditch? Maybe in half an hour if you don't get stabbed on the way by a gang.

Once you are out of London (don't need to go abroad, there are also many beautiful towns in UK) you start realising what you have been missing all these years, trust me. The Center of London is not Barbican or Shoreditch. A couple of trendy bars among dumpsters and gangs doesn't make an area the "center". It's amazing how London can modify your perspective and let you lose touch with the reality.

Now, when you will be able to afford a house in the West end I might consider you a "center" boy then... so far you are just an eastender.

As I said, you lose the grip on reality in London.
