    I think even the rest of England hates London.

    Aberdeen looks about the same rental costs as Hitchin, London is far more expensive.

    49 1 bed flats under £800/month in Aberdeen:

    184 in all of London but most of those are flat shares:

    As if I'd be caught dead in somewhere so crass and gauche. Frankly I'm insulted by the insinuation that I have so little taste.

    The outcome of this thread is that Britain is full of spastics and London has the largest population in Britain and is also the Capital therefore it is the spastic Capital of the country.

    People moan about the tube but it does a good job of getting you from A to B quickly enough. Yes it's over priced and over crowded but probably not a lot they can do about that really.

    Dolphin Square?

    They ought to shoot Harvey Proctor up with Sodium Pentathol or water board him and they'd soon get to the bottom (bon mot) of all the goings on there.
