Currently I am working in Hillingdon, nice houses, plenty of white people milling around....but ethnically challenged like the whole of the Estuary area.

I would love to visit it one day, Istanbul, London, Tehran etc, beautiful Islamic cities.

Being so diverse it makes you wonder why Rockstar Games (Being British) continues to seek out LA & New York to keep basing their games on.

Edinburgh offices near Calton hill. To be precise.

They did a London GTA years ago, in the older birds eye view format. If anyone can remember.

Only ever been there one day, for a football game in the Islington area.. It was meh! Not as nice, compared to Edinburgh.. But only seen for a day drunk.

It is so massive though!

My Grandad lived in london for a short while, as a child during the War..Something to do with My Great Grandad & ww2.. He got injured or something, not too sure.

He lived in a places called Inverness, London, Westminster. Showed me on google street view.. It was really nice looking place.. Lovely white buildings

Those are the Williamane part-Stucco buildings of Bayswater.

For better examples of the same style see St George's Square, St George's Drive and Denbigh Street, Pimlico.



Those houses are absolutely massive, but they are not built from stone, like Edinburgh houses, they are brick and rendered.

As for Islington, much of it was a slum that was gentrified in the early 19th Century.

I remember GTA London, those old GTA games in which the camera was floating above the player like a satellite image. Lots of fun though, simple times those.

Haven't been there in a long time but all I remember was being accosted by Jamaican street vendors all over the place. Rude Pakistani cashiers as well. The white population were overwhelmingly polite and courteous though.

Have heard that many places are built of clay in London, & can crack or warp in extreme weather. The other one is that the Houses of Parliament is slowly sinking..

First GTA Uhtred, good old days.. Came as a demo. Lots of blood splat.

edit: maybe I dreamt the clay thing, not the first time have gotten mixed up with a dream.

There are places In London that one cant really call them British.
Like Tooting and Brixton.But overall It's like any City that was the centre of an Empire.Racially diverse.
