    SOLD: Chariot Cougar 2 child trailer (SW London)

    Hi, My children have now outgrown our 2-seat suspension Chariot Cougar 2 trailer, so I am looking to find it a new loving home. We bought it new and it is in pretty good if used condition. Really comfy, the kids loved being taken for spins in it (and often caught up on much-needed sleep in it...

    London six day.

    I need a bit of help here. I'm going to the velodrome tonight but can't find out when the racing actually starts. All I can see is when the doors open which is 5.30. I don't want to get there too early and have to hang around until the action starts. Eurosport starts it's programme at 7.30 but...

    Southbound London Rd and Tonbridge Rd

    I'm toying with some faster/bad weather routes to Tunbridge Wells. Currently I'm around 44km +650m taking a smidge over two hours, a 1.5hr route would be good. If I go through Chelsfield down the London road through Sevenoaks, then Tonbridge Rd then across along the A26 into TW I'm looking at...

    Where do you think the edge of London is?

    The simplest answer, is the edge of Sadiq Khan's range, viz Other definitions I have heard. Inside M25, but that puts Cobham (for example) in London, and it really isn't. Directional postcodes eg SW18 (south west) is in, but KT8 (Kingston) is out. I reject that on the arbitrary basis that...
