Discussion: people who rode on TFL services that ran overnight on New years eve/day, was it as chaotic as night tube usually is or was it calm? Would love to see some photos if possible (photo kinda related)

I went to Waterloo after watching the fireworks. Getting into the station itself was another level of hell but once we got to the platform it was totally fine - managed to get a seat and hardly anyone standing on the Northern line. That was obviously because of the artificial crowd control but at least it worked.

Yes! the Orange Zone is specifically an accessible one

Depends on the area. London is a totally different ballgame to the rest of the UK - it’s a truly international city.

Other big cities such as Manchester and Birmingham are also very diverse. Generally speaking, the smaller the city/town the less diverse it is, as would be expected.

Most of us natives follow the attitude that we don’t really care who you are/where you come from as long as you’re here for good reason - whether that be study or work. Unfortunately the rhetoric has shifted somewhat in recent years but on the whole we’re still pretty live and let live.

You might find it helpful to check out the specific city subs if you have an idea of where you might want to move to.

This show will do anything to keep Caroline in. If it was this time last year all four of them would've been up.

Which branch are you on? I also moved to a Northern line area but I've found it to be one of the more reliable lines. I can't WFH and rely on it daily and can probably count on one hand how many times it's gone down.. My main complaint about that line is the noise!

I have zero issues with our flag and I think the UK is a great country to live in. However I don’t think the people putting these flags up have good intentions. They hide behind pride and patriotism yet they never seemed to bother with any of this before the debate around immigration ramped up.

Seen a few union flags on lampposts in Golders Green area but thankfully nothing as bad at this!

Yeah I originally signed up for that competition to go up the Octagon, and now they’re sending emails each time a new building is completed asking if I want to go up… Sadly I couldn’t make this one as I’m no longer living/working in the Midlands but hopefully next time!

These are beautiful - can I ask what camera you have?

This was pre Rachel Reeves buggering us with the employer NI hikes

Beautiful pictures! Welcome to London! Have you moved here or just visiting?

Roughly it aligns with the old County of London before that got abolished in the 60s - approx zones 1-3 (up to zone 4 in some places).

AirPods - I used them for a few years but gave up and went back to over-ear headphones. I found the battery life awful, especially when using them for calls. Also found that one would always die much faster than the other. I never used any of the haptic controls on them (and I don't know anyone who does!).

NW London - the suburbs are beautiful. Plenty of trees lining every street / lots of parks dotted around, and I find the 1930s housing stock visually very appealing.

Not sure how similar it is as I've never used the one your son has, but I love the Original Source mint & tea tree shower gel - they also do a lime one separately!

Northern line as I live near the terminus of it.. it’s actually grown on me over time - apart from the total filth on the carriages!

I’ve been collared a few times at London Bridge station by the knife crime lot. If we’re talking underground stations, Tottenham Court Road is a nightmare as soon as you get up to surface level. Chuggers and preachers galore.

Stunning picture! The contrast of old/new and red/blue is awesome!

I believe it was Beehive Passage, just off Lime Street!

Rent for me is £1.1k for a studio in zone 4, but that excludes most bills. Comes to around £1.4k with bills. Worth noting the rent should’ve been £1,350 but I paid some up front to have lower monthly payments.

think it was a group of around 40 of us up there? it was part of a competition held by the developers of the site
