I actually quite like London - I'm a city girl, (I grew up in the country and frankly think its overrated) I like the buzz. What I don't enjoy about London is the tube. I also miss home life, BUT I do get to go out and do stuff I wouldn't normally do at home, because I'm on my own and don't need a babysitter.
So make the most of it - and come along to the pub

Oh I forgot, the pollution in London (jsut a few mins out and about results in black stuff up the beak) probably damages the brain and lungs so even zombies wouldn`t want to reside there.
joking aside, sas, which area of london do you live?
I would have been around the Chelsea overnight then through Pimlico then to drop someone off in Lambeth then South West towards the M3 I think passing Clapham as I tried to escape, not sure entirely as I was just following the Satnav while looking at the poor Londoners roaming the streets looking sad and grimLast edited by SuperZ; 18 September 2009, 21:43.

Typing this in my garden office, looking at the apple tree and sipping a single malt.
Go figure.

Originally posted by Ruse View PostI lived in London for 20 years in various places(North,South and East) and suffered the usual multiple burgalries (once while we were asleep in the house), attempted assaults by psycho bored youths(no provocation), really crap schools etc. However I had some great times, great parties, great friends, great jobs. But there does come a time as you get a bit older when the violence, the rudeness, the dirt, the overpopulation, the traffic and the schools make you want to leave.

I like London in small doses, wouldn't want to live there full time though, far too overcrowded and the really bad areas are pretty close to the good ones. Outside of London you can steer clear of the sh1tholes. I still remember a school Humanities lesson where we studied the squalid deprivation of the inner city London, and how only the poor couldn't afford to leave but were desperate to. How times have changed in the last few decades, now we have middle class professionals on this site defending their decision to live there.

I liked Ealing very much. The Green, Walpole Park, lovely!
The outer edges of Hanwell can be almost like living in the countryside - until you stray too far West and get to the shyt pit that is Southhall.

Originally posted by SuperZ View PostSo what do you love about london? There`s tooooooo many people, likewise for cars, a lot of people look dirty and scruffy, the place is dirty. You ride the tube and there is scientific evidence to claim the average seat has every possibly bodily fluid on it, so you end up sitting where someone has sp***ed up, pi&&ed themselves or had the squirts. You go somewhere and everyone else seems to be there. Sure there`s much to do but it`s a place full of sheep who have flocked there. I mean the quality of life is relatively poor. Rats, polution, gordon brown. What about crime.
Then again it could grow on you I suppose
Good place to live if this super duper killer virus ever appears.....and you`re suicidal
