    To everyone who deosnt know London, this guy is referring to when he was in his 30s. This isnt the coolest area anymore. Maybe it was in 2000. Now that title goes to Shoreditch. He's not even English. It's a commercial area, full of media companies and ad agencies. So equivalent to Madison Avenue in NY.

    Markets by the river Thames is captivating,one can look over across the river the tower bridge, gazing at you ,it's beautiful spot to eat something as well as to have the view of river, breathing the breeze which is fresh and calming.its preparation before hand of Christmas,and in this cold weather it's good way to feel warm by strolling round many markets.The Spitalfield I think is far more interesting.but it's beautiful video,you are looking great

  • @user-cg4pi5fi9u
    @user-cg4pi5fi9u 4 дня назад

    As a Londoner I would clarify your statement for overseas visitors, "There is nothing more magical than Christmas in London." You are quite correct in that the BUILD UP to Christmas from early November is magical but actual Christmas .... Christmas Day & Boxing Day & the following few days are dull, dreadful & boring. Transport does not move on Christmas Day with Boxing Day limited services. Plus virtually all overland railway lines into/out of London do engineering works Dec. 24th to Jan. 1st so it is almost impossible to get into London. In fact this festive season is the worst ever for closed down rail services due to works. So in short do NOT plan a visit to London for actual Christmas - it is awful.

    "London, the hub of English football," yes, in relation to teams situated in a geographical area. But in relation to success-actually winning trophies (Premier League, FA and League Cups, and European/Champions League and other Euro club competitions)-it's the North West of England above all other parts of England and the rest of the UK. Liverpool-Manchester. Of course, And outside of the Northwest. Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest in the West and East Midlands around 40 years ago. The most successful British team in European club competition is Liverpool, with 6 titles, as well as the most English League Cups, with 10 titles. The most successful English Premier League team is Manchester United, with 20 titles. So although there are more clubs in Greater London, and Arsenal and Tottenham have the most modern stadiums, it obviously doesn't mean they are successful by a long way.

    Definitive answer as someone who was born in the borough. Technically yes, Bromley is London. It's one of the thirty two boroughs. If you live there and want to sound posher, it's often referred to as Kent. It was previously a part of Kent before the GLC etc.

    Don't buy fish and chips in a pub, go to a chippy.

Greggs for a sausage rolls, no worries, but for fucks sake get out of London, I wish the politicians would too. New London railway? No problem, a decent upgrade to railways in the north, Wales or Northern Ireland, too expensive, yes you all pay taxes but that's for London, cos that's where the posh people live, and if you work things out the way we prefer, all profits exist in London, cos that's where we have headquarters and stock markets, so that's where all the tax money. museums and culture have to go, not because that's where royalty and all their sycophants and hangers on live.

We all pay taxes, but the goverment pays out excessively to London as it is calculated that profits are generated there, because that is where headquarters and stocks are held.
