marshman 7,756 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 What do you outsiders make of london when you visit? Just wondering. Used to live in the borough of Bromley and since moved to Sevenoaks. Been working in Stratford and how busy it is even at times makes me hate it. Thing is I've been in the middle of no where and although I would prefer it, I've gotta be nearish to london. It's like I enjoy the busyness of it all and the lingo. Whenever I've gone out of london I've found people to be either years behind or soft. Not a Fan of the place..................To many people for my liking . Worked in a place called Bellingham for a week not many cockney's around . Henry Cooper comes from the Bellingham estate . I didn't see his Hammer anywhere Neither did Mohamed Ali but he felt it ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
