“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford”. Samuel Johnson was correct of course, and it sounds like a lot of you simply can’t afford it.

I enjoyed it in the 60s and 70s but not so much these days - must be age

Wit-ham - "And when you reach 60 you get free travel anywhere in London payed for by guess who
everybody but only the few get it while us outside of the greatest city in the world lose our bus services and train services for the pleasure. Where are you based?. My over 60's free bus pass works in London and virtually everywhere else and is provided and issued by West Sussex County Council. Only bu66er is that it ain't valid from Chi Station to Goodwood Racecourse. |

I've been here there and everywhere in my time. I've spent long periods travelling and working in Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and many years in Spain. But here I am now back where I belong, South East London where I was born and bred (Selhurst Park a 15 minute drive away
 ) and that's it for me now I would have thought. I'll never leave London again except for holidays of course but there is nowhere really that I haven't already been to that I particularly want to go again and that includes Vegas  I can go to Spain and Ireland at the drop of a hat and stay with friends or family but I'm not in any particular hurry to do so at the moment.I've got three lovely parks near me to walk Muttley, excellent pubs, my family not in any huge distance from me in any given direction, people who I knew when I was at College are still around that I bump into every now and then and everything else that London has got to offer practically on my doorstep. What's not to like? |

My only bugbear is that there aren't any greyhound stadiums in London anymore, I have to go to Hove for that which I don't mind doing a few times a year but not the same as going to Catford, Wimbledon or Walthamstow from back in the day.

Similar to me Slippy. I grew up in Tooting, Streatham and Lewisham areas.

By:
Yes J_M, I remember you telling me. I used to go and see The Streatham Redskins play when I was a kid, then the bowling alley afterwards, I know Streatham well. I still pop into The Horse And Groom on the High Street every now and then when I'm in that neck of the woods.

Yes, of course it's subjective, but it's my hometown and I've yet to see a finer city worldwide. My vote goes to Melbourne. |
|
By:
Really, saddo.That will be the inner city areas 2-3 miles out of the centre which are almost certainly over 60% Asian and other ethnics. But drive out past this boundary and you have some lovely houses and delightful scenery and probably 95% white.

Well i've had enough of it .Lived in this area (Elm Park,Essex) since 1976 and have put my house on the market.Going to pitch up down in Sidmouth,Devon and spend whats left of my life amongst my own demographic.

Talking about the Trains Blackbarn those that live in London(second house)
over 60 pay at most £11 to get to Witham 45 mins outside of London While those in Witham would have to pay £23 either way Yes bus pass is free but that would take all day to get to London |

London to me on these 1960s films looks just like it did in 1987 (apart from the motors) ..seems the biggest changes have been over the last 15 yrs or so

London is so proud of its 'progressive' modern day schools and pupils, it was a no-brainer to invite Michelle Obama along this typical London school in 2015.

They should have invited Mrs Obama to the School's Christmas Carol Service, right?
