And there's supposed to be a good roast beef place there somebody said was better than Arby's.

That is not difficult at all, Arby's probably could not even be called meat this side of the pond.

Unfortunately all the northerners you got to do this are all still in bed or drunk. The fund you setup to pay for it was £0 as the dole office isn’t open until tomorrow. And the advance party you sent down managed to ask for enough 2ps outside kings cross to buy some special brew when the off license opens

So we’re spared. And continue to be awesome whilst running and paying for the country.

Someone has to prop you shandy drinking, jellied eel munchers up somehow

The bulldozers have been ordered to flatten the place. However, I have asked them to spare Markymarks cardboard box and his shopping trolley with his possessions.

For a brief moment I thought my prayers had been answered and you were going to save Marks & Spencers.

True-used to be a lot better.

Big Ben is the bell, not the clock tower.

Both it and the Liberty Bell were cast at the same foundry, and both have a crack.

See, we have no concept of that distinction. Perhaps if people knew more about London, it wouldn't have to be bulldozed. A little outreach couldn't hurt. Maybe have that bear be the animated spokesman. Maybe add an elevated railroad, like in Chicago, so people can see more stuff they'd never ever want to see.

That there bear, St Pancras or such. Looks more like a beaver, may cause confusion with our friends from da North.

Are there lots of big Bens in London? I read that there are lots of bell ends around Westminster.

Could be worse, they could have spent £50 million on a bridge that will never be built. At least they had a good free drinking, session, a decent sleep, and didn't spend a penny (other than watering the plants).

Mmmf, well I was born a Cockney and raised a Gooner.

Islington? Touristy? Erm, no. It's just a lot cleaner than it used to be.

What I love about London... Everything is in walking distance, failing that, public transport is spot on. The street markets, and not the famous ones - Ridley Road is a gem for fruit & veg, Chapel Street for cracking street food, Walthamstow is a good general market (and the longest street market in Europe). Just the sheer diversity - people, food, culture. Lots of "hidden" green spaces. Lots of things to do that are free (other than the bus fare to get there and a packup)...

Overcrowded, overpriced & overrated.

Personally, the best view I've had of London is in the rear view mirror while heading North on the M 1.

I must admit the first time my good lady sugested a short holiday with the kids to London did not appeal but from the moment of boarding the train from Manchester to arriving i was all for it. Walking around and seeing all the sites was a pleasure.The tube which although daunting at first, is brilliant and efficiant. People were helpful and friendly epecially when we were staring at the bus timetable like startled rabbits only to be helped onto the right bus by a total stranger. Its not a cheap holiday,but it was memorable and an amazing experience........we even returned for another go !!
