I'd stick about 20% on the 9 million to take account of all the illegals

Looks like a random capital of Europe,certainly not England

That must've been a terrible experience Les I suppose you were hospitalised with shock for a couple of days. My visits generally involve travelling rail to Paddington, undergound to Fulham Broadway then a short walk to the home of the Pride of London - if you time the journey right you won't see too many of the germs you mention

I lived and worked in central London when 18 and 19 years of age.

I avoid at all costs going anywhere near there now....it just me off too much seeing all the flotsum and jetsum that inhabit the place, and nearly as bad....all the rich Middle-Easterners swanning round like they own the bloody place - which they DO.

So, to all amongst the expanding population, please just STAY there.

Maybe its because I'm a Londoner, that I love London town.

I was born in Greater London. And worked there till I was 20. When I took the mrs around the sights at christmas I clocked the changes you mentioned.
