Elephant and Castle - Greasy Spoon..?

Until I moved jobs six months ago I used to frequent quite a nice one

ELL in peril yet again

I've never understood why all the southern extensions will run from

Help with choice of London-Airport transfers

Quickest and most comfortable way from Heathrow to hotel is probably
to take Heathrow Express train to Paddington and taxi from there (may
be a queue for taxis at that time). Quite expensive...

CrossRail or CrossConnections? Guns or butter?

CrossRail or CrossConnections? Guns or butter?


I agree that South East London needs better transport, and that Crossrail
isn't it. (I think it's mildly ridiculous that it won't serve Woolwich, for
a start). But I definitely don't think...

CrossRail or CrossConnections? Guns or butter?

ON Network - any better?

that the areas which already benefit from the Jubilee Line...

tube lines south of the river

Either way, this won't be much of an issue for south/southeast London much

Lyndhurst Road station - petition
