London

Or we could just knock them on the back of the head.

Not the doings of a civilised society. Let's try and better our society not set an example that it is OK to kill people. More work should go into preventing crime than dealing with the aftermath.

Class for a visit. Would absolutely hate to live there.

Conversely, I couldn't live anywhere else. f***ing class place, 24 hour city, public transport frequent and late, loads of cultural things to see and do, the people talk properly.

Has it's good and bad points like anywhere on earth, but for me the only city in the world that comes anywhere near is Amsterdam.

Of course not, I was being facetious.

Errrrrrr... I don't think so.

London Calling to the faraway towns

Now war is declared and battle come down

 

[tenpins]

Not sure about living there (too expensive anyway) but no better city to visit.

 

[Big Jeff]

I lived and worked there for a year.

Made good money, had a blast and got divorced.

Still eh!

Does London still have the stop and search going on?

Lee Ho Fooks?

Was he well dressed? I'd love to meet his tailor.

 

[Redandwhitedust]

I'm not so sure about that. Maybe in some areas it does, but as I travel around the country I see investment, whereas there are many parts of London that seemingly get nothing.

That's a fair comment. But as a region, London generally does well, even if some parts of that region do better than others.

If they'd started HS2 construction in the North and worked south... it would have been finished. I don't doubt it.

Olympics... London
Wembley.... London (remember when FA Cup semis were Hillsborough and Villa Park etc)

We live in a world where apparently money is tight, but when money can be spent. Its spent in London.

I love Crossrail/Elizabeth line. It's incredible. Yet I know that amount of money would have been sanctioned anywhere else in the UK

Wembley.... London (remember when FA Cup semis were Hillsborough and Villa Park etc)

I'm definitely in favour of semis being played at a local, neutral ground.

Wembley should be for the final only.

Just in a "save the planet" way, if nothing else.

If Manchester City were due to play Liverpool in the semis, surely they could be played at Old Trafford. Why would you send all those fans to London, it is just wrong.

Could be a busy bank holiday weekend

Pouria Zeraati: Iran International TV host stabbed outside London home

London-based Iran International says Pouria Zeraati was attacked by a group in the south of the city.

So dangerous.

I love London, I haven't been for a couple of years, but we used to go down 2-3 times a year. We'd take the kids shopping at Christmas. Last time I was down I did a tour of some of the oldest boozers: Prospect of Whitby, Old Cheshire Cheese etc- some fantastic old pubs in London.

The last bit into London wasn’t finished though. It doesn’t even reach Euston and stops at some place nobody knows about or cares about.

I always say that London will be a great city once they've finished building it.

Some smashing pubs all along the river (and everywhere else too). The ones on the river heading east have great history to them though.

There’s about 3 Cheshire cheeses within a mile of each other …. Canny confusing!

I love a pub crawl in London (even if my bank account hates it). Only problem is that some of the oldest and most historic ones (including the Prospect of Whitby), are owned by Greene King, so the beer selection in them is often poor.
