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...

The trick is to plan your silly spending to last no longer than half the next cycle allowing you to save a war chest as well as enjoy the hay...

Looks like QE worked after all, contrary to what you cretins spouted
British pragmatism is not such a bad thing.

Unlike Portugal, where I'm told Pingo Doce (Portuguese Tesco) now has armed guards in many supermarkets, due to a spate of hold-ups.
Going there soon, will be interesting to catch up with my contacts, one of whom has installed security gates and bought a fierce dog.

To protect his trolleys in the carpark?

No More Boom and Bust!

His statement has been correct since the moment he became pm. It's been bust ever since
