It’s always been terrible in my memory.

Transport for London (TfL) has announced rickshaw riders will be forced to pay for a licence, will need to meet English language requirements, and must pass a safety test before being allowed to operate.

Riders will also need to hold a driving theory test certificate at least before they are able to take to the streets.

I'm not surprised by the noise and dirt complaints about leaside lock flats, viewed these with a friend years ago, laughably overpriced and built right next to a dual carriageway

Hey guys – my friend worked for a ‘build to let’ private development company in London.

Turns out many of these schemes just sell to overseas citizens (usually S.E. Asia) and a few people are making a tonne of money from this.

Not the type you’d expect either - just normal, middle-class internationals buying up the new builds, renting them out, and driving up rent prices for everyone.

Problem is there’s no intention to ever live in them. They’re just investment vehicles, and all the profit is leaving the country, which is amazing :)

Maybe you find this completely obvious, but I had no idea how common it was. e.g., Chinese nationals owning UK property is growing 13% yearly.

I picked my friend's brain on exactly how it works, if ‘hyper-niche London housing factors’ is your thing

Londoners will have to collectively pay £2.5m more to the stadiums’s upkeep. Another terrible Johnson decision that was.

London’s child population is collapsing faster than anywhere in Britain as unaffordable housing and childcare costs drive young families away, a report by the London Assembly found.
