Are You Part Of London’s North South Divide?

According
-
The River Thames From Kingston Railway Bridge.
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.
