Hello Londoners!!!
 
Who else is from LONDON, and what do you think of it?!?!?!

Locke. 16-07-2008 02:21 PM

I'm not from London, but I've been there- It was ok, but nothing special.

Tom 16-07-2008 02:24 PM

Fom 16-07-2008 02:27 PM

I'm moving to London in a year :)

Emzy-!! 16-07-2008 02:28 PM

well my advice is to wear dark clothes on the train!!!!!

Fom 16-07-2008 02:34 PM

haha, thats the one thing im dreading... im dreading the underground. It looks so bad on movies haha.
Ive been once, but got sent home for drinking (I didnt even drink, the rest of my class did) went to go watch Wicked and stayed over night, I liked what I saw.

When I move to London I am just going to hog the west end. I just LOVE theatre.

xDramatick 16-07-2008 02:35 PM

I'm from London and love it =D

There's always something to do, or somewhere to go.
Plus London Pride = <3

As Fom said, West End+Theatre = LOVE.
I'll never forget seeing The Woman In Black o__O

You can get that up north as well if you want it :joker:

Anyway, congestion charge (coming to Manc :mad:), people being too career orientated, people just generally not being as nice in London, more to do up north etc.

London is overrated and TV/media is too London-centric.

xDramatick 16-07-2008 02:43 PM

I love the underground! =D
even when it's crowded, although I'll admit I hate it at the time xD
But it's a useful thing to have.

Although TV is centering even more around Manchester these days.

Shameless
Drop Dead Gorgeous
Scallywagga
The one about the school.. forgot its name :P

All in manchester :)

Tom 16-07-2008 02:49 PM

Shameless is filmed in Salford, not Manchester, and only started being filmed in Manchester for series 5 (I think) the one that went out this year.

I agree though TV is coming up north a bit more but 80% of programmes comes out of London.

MrGaryy 16-07-2008 02:56 PM

I live in London! I love it!

Coronation Street. I think Hollyoaks is too, might be a different soap I'm thinking of.

Tom 16-07-2008 03:04 PM

Corrie is filmed in Manchester but isn't actually set in Manchester itself. Hollyoaks is in Chester, thats way off :laugh2:

Psh yeh, but Salford is close enough haha, i go shopping in manchester and can accidently end up in Salford they are so close.
In fact I go to college in Salford :P, And I live in Manchester.

Lauren 16-07-2008 04:03 PM

Manchester isn't "Up North" haha, come up to the real North - it's even better. :cheer2:

Nah, but seriously - I have nothing against London it's just not for me in the slightest. I prefer the easygoing friendly nature of the North rather than the cold ambitious nature of the South (no, I'm not saying people in the South are unfriendly LOL).

MarkWaldorf 16-07-2008 04:50 PM

I live in London.
I don't think I could live anywhere else. Theres always something to do and Central London is just amazing. :):):)

Anywhere past Bristol is up North to those people down South :laugh:

x_mel_x 16-07-2008 05:42 PM

I live in London. There are positive and negative points about it. Its great for shopping, restraunts and musicals and pretty much has everything you would ever need but it is always so busy and you can get so many rude people.
I'm not gonna be living here much longer as I am going to uni and I dont wanna stay in London.

Jackie 16-07-2008 07:30 PM

I was born in North London
Moved to Essex 30 years ago would never go back.

Willz 16-07-2008 07:33 PM

Im from South London, absoloutely hate it!

Xander 16-07-2008 07:35 PM

I don't think I could ever live in London, I prefer living in the South-West were its more laid back and peaceful.
