London property prices are very high. It would not surprise me if Mr Tunnie's shag pad is worth twice what he paid for it five years from now.

Think that's going to be pushing it, but CrossRail means Canary Wharf in 20 mins, which I think will really help prices.

Kensington Palace Gardens - keep it!!  Worked in a few of the "palaces" in that road. In 1995, we managed to upset Roman Abramovich who owned a £7m (price at the time) appartment. He was about 28-30 at the time, scruffy trainers jeans etc with a pipe smoking Yanky lawyer.. and 2 big body guards. Got very, very Mafia style upset that a loose Neutral in the BMS panel had zapped his sat link to Trump Tower, Moscow and Monte Carlo. Another flat owner was the ex Lada boss who they tried to blow up ??  Was also in the car park under these apartments when the Israeli, Iraqi or whatever embassy was blown up next door....took off all the car park fire doors and put me on my arse.
Wouldn't catch me living there.

someone has just paid £200,000 for a 90 year lease on a parking space there. They still have to pay 90p per hour to park in it though.

have to agree with most of you , London is fine as a place to visit but can think of far nicer places to live if I had the pennies. Besides,when you live 100yds from the sea for so long you get to miss it when youre away. Maybe its me just getting older but I think Id prefer home to be in more tranquil surroundings these days

I moved to London, but it was a sacrifice that needed to be made.




Within 2 minute walk I have, near me: Co-Op, Chinese Takeway, Pizza Takeaway, Chicken Takeaway, Burger Takeaway, Off License, Pound shop, Hair dressers, Post Office, Petrol Station.






Still views make up for lack of country-ness
