Re: When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life: Samuel Johnson

Last time I went to London was when I was taken on the London Eye for my 50th birthday treat 12 years ago. I would love to go and see the Science Museum and the Art Gallery though so I will try to pluck up the courage to go later in the year as I keep getting emails from Premier Inn and Travel Lodge about reduced price hotel rooms.

I haven't been to London for a very long time and have no intention of going there again, I dislike cities.

Re: When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life: Samuel Johnson

I grew up in London. It was my playground and I loved it. The museums the galleries the shops markets and the parks . There was always something exciting going on.

But times change and so do people. My focus changed when I had my children and we moved to give them a better life.
Now when I visit the city I see the dirt the grime and the poverty. I don't like it at all and once my mum dies I doubt I will ever go back.

None of those, far less than a year. I dislike London, but if there is something on I want to see I go. Last time was to see these.

Re: When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life: Samuel Johnson

I love London - especially the historical bits. I have to visit the bank where our Dog Rescue Charity has an account every couple of months and I always take the opportunity to explore different parts of "old" London. I'm not so keen on Londoners though (even though I live in West London, it doesn't "feel" like London). Much as I love to visit, I could never live in London or any city for that matter!
