When it's all Boom, it usually means Doom

Apart from a couple years (2008-09) with the pain concentrated in the City, I doubt very much that London has been in much of a recession at all. I'd like to see official figures for London vs rest of UK.
It's my opinion that London has decoupled from ScotNorthLand and has an economy that has its own dynamic now

This ^ the couple of times I have visited Westfield I have felt like a country bumpkin. The place if flooded with new cars and shops selling tulip that is beyond expensive and all this from Stratford (a place that you would drive through with your doors locked when I left London ten years ago...)

There is no doubt in my mind that London has been mostly fine...
