That there London

[V8Granite]

I've had to walk from Kings Cross to Fitzroy Square. A 30 minute walk.

6 Ambulances on lights and siren calls.

4 separate fire engines.

5 police cars

An obnoxious group of flag waving degenerates shouting at people.

It seems to be getting worse and worse every time I come here, it's getting a bit silly. Also, I grew up in Peterborough so it's not like I'm comparing it to the Seychelles.

I might start screaming that dairy is genocide, will probably get a good group by the time I hit Westminster bridge

I was in London last Tuesday. It was great - massive number of Lime Bikes parked up on Fenchurch Street but that reflects the ease of getting round by bicycle. Hearing sirens is something you get in any big city.

The Lime bikes are getting annoying - kids have figured out how to ride them for free and once that happens they emit a beep noise and don’t stop, even when abandoned at the bottom of your flat

I did the Bermondsey beer mile a couple of weeks ago, that was pretty decent.

Just sooooooooo much traffic everywhere.

It's particularly good when opposite St Pancreas you can't cross the road at the crossing as that's where they dump them.

It's not a few sirens, it's a lot worse in general. I mean the rubbish alone and tent cities is growing remarkably quickly. Ive been going to the same few areas regularly for the last 22 years getting Visas etc and it's just a different place now.

But, you go to Camden and it was awesome.

i go to London every couple of weeks - i really don’t see these issues! i usually ride a lime bike from waterloo to farringdon and it’s a lovely place to be in my experience. i walked to St pancras the other day and again, it was a nice pleasant walk.

[dinny_g]

Rich B is correct

[Jobbo]

I didn’t go to Camden but it’s probably as touristy as ever. I can spell St Pancras. Crossing the Euston Road at street level was always a pain so use a subway.

Camden isn’t as good as it used to be, the old markets and stores were way better. But people said that 10+ years ago too. I miss how busy London used to be midweek, now it feels like city of 1 million people rather than 10. Go out in the evenings and it feels pretty dead and everything closes way sooner. Weekends then end up weirdly busy but it’s more out of town tourists rather than Londoners so a different vibe.
Can’t even buy an ice cream at 1am these days
