im looking to buy vintage or used jewellery and other small household items at lowest possible prices and wondered if those are sold at car boot sales? if yes, is there a website that lists the nearest car boots to my postcode or is there a specific area of london where these happen and on which days? im looking in or as close as possible to hackney. I've never attended one of these so no idea if they happen ranmdoly or scheduled on set days everyday.
Hi guys
This year one of my resolutions is learning how to drive and getting my licence. However I live in Vauxhall / near Oval and I’m not sure where the best place is to learn driving as I know the roads here are quite busy. Does anyone have experience and recommendations? Also would be great if you have any suggestions for instructors / training centres as I have no clue at all.
Thanks in advance!
I know the Gerkin, any ideas as to what the others are called?
I'm doing some research on music and culture for a school project and thought who better to ask than you guys!!
It's specifically on the year 2004 but the info from 2000 to then works too. I'm sure the popular music at the time wouldn't have hugely differed between postcodes - but I guess looking at culture and demographics there'd be a change in stereotypical vibes if that makes sense. Right now I'm going through the route through Dulwich, Peckham, Camberwell, Walworth, (not really sure what neighbourhood to group these more central ones into) Elephant and Castle, Waterloo, All around the Soho/ Covent Garden/ Oxford street area, and Notting Hill Gate.
If anyone lived in these areas in the 2000s/ knows anything about them, any info on the iconic Music, Fashion, Culture that held specific relevance would be appreciated!! Whether an influential artist lives in one of the neighbourhood, or there was any popular genre-specific clubs, concert venues etc.
Sorry if this didn't make a whole load of sense lol, I'm a bit all over the place with this project. Thankyou!!
I (Canadian) am here for three days and only today found out that on of my cousins is buried here. She was Trans I am am gay (muslims) so I don’t have contact with the family. I know for sure they would be buried in a Muslim cemetery. But other than that I have nothing else to go on. Oh and I can’t make phone calls other than what’s app.
Any suggestions? Or can anyone help with the search?
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m moving soon and can’t take my furniture with me. Does anyone know of any good Facebook Marketplace groups for selling furniture, particularly in South London / South East London? Any recommendations or tips would be really appreciated! ebay just tends to take a while and I only have a couple weeks. Ideally want to sell locally so things can be picked up quickly- but also open to other (local) selling platforms if u know of any. Thanks in advance!
From a construction site I was at today, looking towards vauxhall from oval cricket ground.
Hey everyone!
I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable moving company in London that also provides packing services. I’m relocating from a 2 Bed in Dulwich to a house in the Cotswolds, and since I’m juggling work and a 2 toddlers, I really need movers who can handle everything—packing up furniture, sorting out a mountain of toys, and making sure my kitchen essentials don’t disappear into the abyss.
Last time I moved, I tried to do it all myself and it was an absolute nightmare and that when I was a single man, now I married with 3 kids 😅 So this time, I want to make the process as smooth as possible. If anyone has used a great moving service, I’d love to hear your recommendations!
Nice to have sunshine sometime
On the Cannon St to London Bridge train
It was about 9pm to 10pm, suddenly there was an announcement letting people to leave the station immediately. Does anyone know what actually happened yesterday about the station or what happend on the rails?
Famous hotel car has disappeared again and I remember seeing another Reddit user post it was gone too !! Anyone know ?
Just stay in the carriage you got on. Annoying fcukers
Edit: not talking about tubes. Overground trains. And specifically the scenario where the train is still in the platform but with plenty of minutes to spare, someone gets on the end carriage and decides to walk all the way through rather than just walking up the platform.
Grade A bell ends.
Passing through CW today and spotted a couple of New York Police Department cars, NY taxis, and a couple more American-registered cars. Anyone know what they’re filming?
Just been having cars passing by with horns and lots of stamps saying “Restore Police Power” kind of thing.. now just saw this! Wtf?
