It is a different place working to relaxing. I couldnt work in tahn, too many people, too smely, transport appalling, no parking. Yet, its a great place for an evening out. In my view.

London is just too cosmopitan now for it's inhabitants to show any hospitality or even common courtesies, been there a few times and always been astouded by the pure ignorance of the majority of it's inhabitants.

If you were friendly to strangers you'd be doing nothing else all day, there are a lot of them. It's not like Haltwhistle where everyone knows each other already and take it in turns to be the village idiot.

The view from Richmond Hill is fantastic. Dulwich Village is a little oasis and Blackheath is a good place to live as well. London is not all bad news although admittedly some places are best avoided but no different to any big city.

I've been a visitor to London from my very early years (relatives living there) and can honestly say, I've always loved the place - but the pace is far faster than anywhere else I've been to in this country.
Which has always come as an unpleasant surprise, whenever I've been there, but I just take no notice. |

And what are people comparing London too?
Virtually every city in the entire world, almost without exception has rough areas. Green Space, Size, Standing in the world, Sporting Stadia, Buildngs of historical interest, Museums, Theatres, etc We must score highly in all of the above categories. Other cities will score more highly on various categories, but few would beat London overall. |

By:
to be fair most major worldwide cities do beat London on most things.
if you've travelled a little youd know that |

as a british born person, you should not have to live in a flat with a bunch of somalians. The opportunities and money that has been spent on you should've allowed to to go on to better things. 7 miles from the sntre of the city the 1 bedroom flats start at £155,000 which means that you have to earn about twice the average wage to get a mortgage. This of course is after going to the local comp where English is likely to be the 3rd or 4th most spoken language at home. |
