The Worst Things in Central London, Greater London*

The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it

You can tell us more about Central London.

The Worst Things
  • that english people thing there so great and everyone else in britain is "nothing" compared to them when the english are all a load of queen fuckers
  • too many niggers
  • the smells. some of the people...
  • My little brother
  • People who visit our great city and complain about the people who have made it worth visiting - Londoners!!! (the view that everyone is a rude cockney is probably as tiresome as the comic stereotypes about Liverpudlians always on the rob, the Welsh 'lurve' of sheep, Brummie's lack of intelligence, Scots drunkeness and Cornish incest (though I'm only guessing that these are stereotypes??)
  • no bikes on buses
  • The fact that even though more money is spent in the capital than anywhere else in the UK it still needs a bomb dropping on most of it to give things a bit of a face lift at the very least.
  • Carnaby Street has been taken over by the likes of Boots, The Body Shop and Starbucks - there is nothing left there. Litter, air, beggers by the cashpoints, Oxford Street on a weekend, tourists, rudeboys, 13 year old girls dressed in the latest fashions with mobile in one hand and cigarette in the other, everyone always in a hurry, traffic congestion (too many traffic lights have been put in place of zebra crossings).
  • Nasty, dangerous, evil pushers on the streets around Charing Cross Road at night (specially the ones that mugged me!) Mustn't be scared of em though otherwise they will take the place over. Best to keep your wits about you, that's all.
  • The central london Underground stations during the rush hour, oxford street on a saturday afternoon. Also, there are only so many Starbucks that can be squeezed onto one road.
  • everyone (without exception) living in london. they are the most rude, miserable, unfriendly, aggressive, always in a fucking hurry, obnoxious bunch of bastards ever. worst thing is, it's contagious. live here for five minutes and you'll turn into one as well. oh, to be back in friendly birmingham....
  • urine smell.
  • Oi, hang on will you!! No it is NOT cheap in London, on the contrary it is terribly & unbelievably expensive. I lived there for 5 years, and could not save a penny during that time. Then against my will (because I realy do LOVE London) I have to move out of there. :(
  • food people transport trains tube bus people did I say transport? Cockneys
  • The appalling amount of traffic that the government has done absolutely nothing about to bring under control. Why isn't Oxford Street, and Trafalgar Square (semi-) pedestrianised? The litter. Brits clearly regard anywhere as okay to dump their garbage.
  • LONDONERS COM FROM HERE.THEY MOVE TO THE SOUTH WEST THEN MOAN BECAUSE THE ROADDS ARE NOT STRAIGHT OR WIDE ENOUGH,THAT IT IS NOT COSMOPOLITON,THAT EVERY WHERE SHUTS BEFORE MIDNIGHT,AND THAT THERE IS NOT SUCH A CHOICE OF SHOPS.LONDONERS ONLY MOAN WHEN OUT OF LONDON,THEY MUST LOVE LONDON,SO ALL YOU LONDONERS AND TWATTY ESSEX BUMMER BOYS STAY HOME AND KEEP OUTR OF THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.P.S LONDON IS NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE AS SOME M.P'S BELIVE.
  • the streets smell more like open sewers in the morning, and the afternoon and especially at night as well. as soon as the sun comes out soho square becomes standing room only as everybody strips their bod and greases up for a touch of lunchtime tanning - 12-2pm only ..
