    Autumn is my favourite season too. Autumn in the UK is very beautiful.
    Palm trees grow in Cornwall., if that helps.

    Thanks for this reaction to this fantastically stimulating City that I have called home (29 years in "Inner" followed by 41 years in "Outer" London).
    It's been wonderful with,barely,a problem though after 41 years(tomorrow) in this house,I really must start thinking about getting a lock on my back door, which I have never bothered to have.

      Tomorrow,I celebrate moving 13 miles from Central London to the very periphery of S E London and Kent, to this same house and I will not be moving 5 yards as I become 70 in 10 days.
      Good Luck:)

    Apparently western cities self-ignite at temperatures that are considered night temperatures in countries like India - which doesn't catch fire. (240 deg Celcius is what it takes for spontaneous combustion to occur, NOT 42 deg). Arson is to blame.

    Hi. Yes London is just over 606 square miles (and I mean just London, not the metropolitan area outside it), so about twice the size of NYC, but they have roughly the same population (close to 9 million), so NYC is more densely populated. The town in London where I was born (Bromley, 10 miles south-east of London Bridge) was, before 1 April 1965, outside London in the county of Kent, so even now, after more than 59 years in London, most of the borough (the London Borough of Bromley), feels like it’s still rural Kent (best of both worlds).

    When it's hot in the UK is usually very humid. It's been 25°C today and I'm dying. It feels so much hotter than a dry heat. Every spring as soon as we have a hot day I think I'll buy an air con unit but then the heat only lasts for a couple of days so I don't get one. The majority of UK cars have air con so if it gets too bad I can always go out for a drive!

    I let the mispronunciation of "plague" go by, though it irks me (its correctly pronounced with a long 'a' - as if spelt 'playg') but Bazalgette _deserves_ his name to be pronounced correctly.
    The 'g' in his name is _soft_ - as in 'giraffe'. ( _Not_ _hard_ - as in "golf")
    So it _should_ sound like ' _Bazzal-jet_ '
    _NOT_ "BazalGet".

    Westminster was created in an attempt to draw focus from the walled city of London, London is a city of two cities. Londinium was just the Roman name, _the area was inhabited by the Trinovantes, a Celtic tribe that lived in the region of Essex and Hertfordshire. The Trinovantes were a powerful and influential tribe, and their territory stretched from the River Thames to the River Stour_

    Actually most of London wasn't destroyed in 1666 just like the 1212 fire, yes there was significant damage to houses and most churches were destroyed but only about 13% of London was destroyed. Significant yes, but not most of London.
    If you consider London to be the walled city it was most, but London was more than what was within the city walls. As it is now, it was then within the walls is only 1.12 square miles. London was bigger than that. Even these days "The City of London" a different city to Westminster is called the square mile and only occupies just over one square mile.
    As for the death toll, the time of day and knowledge of how many houses were destroyed, a death toll can be estimated, but there are some wild estimates in the hundreds of thousands. Only 13,200 homes were destroyed so unless they were packed into them at morning time to 1am that's absurd, it's day time they'd be up and out. Unless being Sunday and the fire destroying most churches had something to do with it? Even then anything more than a few hundred seems vast over estimations. It's not as if they wouldn't have heard the commotion or smelt the fire as it grew in proportions.

    Interesting fact about Bazzeljett who was the engineer for the London sewer system was he insisted on using lime mortar which was more expensive but he was right as the cost saving since has been immense and it is because the lime makes it stronger when in contact with water the alternative would have required multiple repairs over short periods resulting in ever rising costs.

    What ever you do try not to fall in to the trap of comparing London or any were else ( sewers pouring in to the Thames untreated ) because you only know what you know because of their suffering and inventions BUT you must remember parts of the world are still as bad as they were back then . So stop comparing if you can but if you can't remember that the UK is the same size as Alabama but were the population of Alabama is approximately 5-6m the UK is approximately 67m hence the smaller roads / housing and the cost of them
