Yes, there never a perfect place to be, and I am sure some will cite some of the aftermath of riots etc. But when you look at the Camden music scene, the gig across London and how people just lived and let others live, and just got on, it was absolutely brilliant!
I am not saying this just because I am a Londoner. I have seen awful scenes in London over the years, from years attending football matches in the 80s. It wasn’t always perfect. But in the mid 90s, something clicked. Londoners stood up for each other and lived in such harmony! It was easily, the greatest city to be on earth!
I hope one day, that late 90s London will return…..
