It's unfamiliar even to those who live in London. I'm still not convinced that area is inhabited at night.

For 1Direction cost £110 for each ticket. but these were purchased at the last minute therefore expensive. :o
they are doing a few more shows in the uk , no idea on price though, once is enough ;D ;D

Post by: bubu on May 23, 2013, 03:55:24 PM: Three days ago they played in Milan and on Tv young girls said they paid 500 euros for the ticket ,next they 'll be in Verona and the last tickets cost till 4.500 euros. To me it seems absolutely crazy. I'll put the link but it is in Italian

Wha...?! Do you know how many things you can buy/do with that amount of money in my country?!! The world's definitely gone in one direction: madness.

It's not that far as the crow flies, but that part of London was dead and has had numerous attempts to rejuvenate it. If you look at your photos, you'd be hard pushed to see anywhere residential.

Greenwich proper is nice in parts, but the surrounding area is obscure.

Post by: 6pairsofshoes on May 29, 2013, 04:00:01 AM: I was there once for Victorian Summer School, but we mostly went by the military hospital and the Queen's House along the river. I've never seen any of the surrounding developments.
