Are You Part Of London’s North South Divide?

According

to a poll carried out by CultureLine those who live in Kingston and

other areas in South London are twice as likely as North Londoners to

cross the river for cultural events.

North

Londoners claimed in the poll that down here, South of the River, we

have less cultural attractions. (Though as they don’t come here how

would they know?)  However while the poll revealed that North Londoners

rated Eating Out as one of their top interests it also revealed that

South Londoners had more varied and adventurous cultural tastes.

The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, urges Londoners to cross the divide.  He said:

“North

or south, I urge Londoners to cross the great divide and discover the

rich cultural treasures, cuisines and dialects to be found on the other

side of the river. London Overground is opening up the capital like

never before, making it even easier to get to know our trans-Thames neighbours and discover the gems of the city.”

What

do you think? Do you think Kingston and South London has enough

cultural attractions? Or should we be glad we don’t have more North

Londoners visiting us? Tell Kingstonpeople.
