More from the hell that is London...

We know those things happen - we're not being serious, just enjoying the pics and the thoughts of a nice, sunny spring day of cycling.

London has the combined population of Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland crammed into an area 20 x20 miles. It is no wonder you get some problems. The real miracle is how nice it actually is in places.

And how humble and welcoming the locals are

This.

I can't imagine ever wanting to live in London but it's a fabulous city to visit.

Fantastic, enjoying the weather on the dog wee soaked grass

*Ahem*. Denominator Neglect. As @Beebo points out.

Best part of London?

Getting beyond the M25!

That depends on your definition of "London"

Havering has a bit outside the M25

I love a good "whoosh" moment.

Greater London has 50% more area than North Devon and 95 times the population?
No thanks.

Noisy, filthy and the air stinks.

No mountains, lakes or roaming sheep

Thankfully, I left the place behind some 20 years ago.

Be interesting to see how many genuine Londoners live there (I don't know what constitutes being 'genuine' - is it third generation with both parents and grandparents being born there?).

Full of loads of foreigners from the north, south and west of Britain, plus those from abroad.

No mountains, lakes or roaming sheep

Have a look at the major mainline train stations at rush hour: roaming sheep everywhere.

I spent the first 60 years of my life in London.

Yet you claim to be Scottish.

...... I like the solitude of walking across Hampstead Heath in the early morning....

Yes - through my father (although my mother was from Yorkshire) and political views. BTW Vernon and I were from the same clan (and shared a tartan) - in fact we decided we were distantly related.

You are Rod Stewart and ICM£50.
