The 10th teenager to be murdered on the streets of our capital this year.

Along with the rioting, killings, fires, and looting that also recently took place, why do the media constantly harp on about London being the best city in the world?

Can London be made safe, in time for when it goes on display to the rest of the world, at next years Olympics Games?

We lived in Bath for a few years.

Very civilized - great place to live

but it's still small, limited and 'provincial' compared with any of the 'Great Cities of the World'

SR Ah Samuel Johnson, but there does come a time when it gets a bit tiring, dodging all the tourists, i mean in his day it was crowded, but most people knew where they were heading, unlike your average tourist, do you know the way to, ....... should have a blue badge stuck to my forehead.

Centre of London to Brighton is roughly 50 miles, and takes over a hour on the train from Kings X, and not at weekends currently, rail upgrades,
you have to get to London Bridge or Charing Cross to get there sat/sun.
just so you know. lol

Copenhagen is better, cleaner, safer and much closer to a beach.

steg - I believe that we are in with a chance of becoming a city - but it is just a name.

King James I of Scotland had a rough time here though.

>>>"The people in South London are nearer to Brighton on the south coast >>>than they are to the north of London"
>>>I don't think so!

I meant the people on the edge of South London, say Redhill, are nearer to Brighton that the top of North London, say Potters Bar.

Potters Bar to Redhill is 35 miles. Redhill to Brighton is 31 miles.

And I bet a person from Redhill could get to Brighton quicker than they could get to Potters Bar.
