    A fine place. Home town of luminaries such as Ledley King, Dizzee Rascal and that tart who used to rohypnol foreign businessmen in West End hotels and nick their wallets. A local girl made good.

      East London's not a dangerous place, just a slightly seedy one.

            Pimlico

            I think Pimlico is the greatest area in London.

            It is just so close to the center and it looks like what London should be with nice buildings, pavements, monuments, etc.

            Most areas of London are awful but some of them have lots to offer in terms of service. However, now that I am out I would only live in areas like Pimlico where you have history and character or else totally outside London. What's the point of living in London if you can't enjoy the West End? (and most of the londoners don't).
            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

              I would not like to live in London. Zoos are for animals not humans.

                Yes I wish I was in Swindon - Apparently Land of the Living Dead was filmed there. They saved money on actors that way.

                    You should try leaving your watch at home some days.
