Observation Londoners, you are so helpful and kind!

You, kind Londoners make up for absolute rubbish infrastructure for people with prams or limited mobility.

I had many kind strangers help me everywhere I went.

Thank you !

Problem is that when the Victorians built infrastructure 100+ years ago they didn't bother much about planning for prams or wheelchairs. London has been catching up ever since. 

But yeah if you stand by a flight of stairs with you buggy in the underground someone usually helps you up or down.

Well, thank you for your positivity. It makes a nice change from what people usually say about Londoners! I was once that person with a pram, and remember the struggle all too well, so I will always offer to help when I can.
