Re: What is your local town famous for?

There is a Hindu Temple at Helensburgh which is part of Wollongong (The city takes up 60km of the coastline).

I was at the Nan Tien on Friday accompanying a Buddhist friend because it was some important day on the Buddhist Calendar. Their cafe does a really good Chai Latte

Re: What is your local town famous for?

If I include my borough as a whole we have got...

David Beckham
Harry Kane
Jimmy Neighbour
Walthamstow dog stadium
Home of the Olympics (almost, next door)
Awarded the first Borough of Culture
Europe's longest street market

And the negatives...

Lots of stabbings
Ditto shootings
Moped thefts

When he was with Marillion, Fish stayed in Edinburgh while he was born in Dalkeith on the outskirts of the city.

And you missed Philip Larkin who spent much of his life in Hull.
