Posted by Max Roberts on Mon Mar 14 12:39:43 2005, in response to Re: London news, posted by brooklynQB on Sat Mar 12 22:17:20 2005. As a resident of London for 18 years from 1966 to 1985, it was the green bits and open spaces that made living there bearable. Miles and miles of uninterrupted houses and urban motorways? Yuck, no thanks.Also, given that London's roads and Undergrounds are at capacity, how are all these extra people going to travel? Currently, I live at the pleasant riverside town of Wivenhoe in Essex (population 10,000). It is a 15 minute walk to the local station, and trains take me to London in 1hr 15 minutes. Even if I were to take a job in London, I can't imagine any new housing developments of decline in prices that would tempt me back. Not many photos of Wivenhoe on line, but try this page (its not mine): http://www.mike.varley.btinternet.co.uk/Wivenhoe/wivenhoe.htm |
