Talk:Ruislip

message: There are no "middle class" boroughs in London. You can live next door to a millionaire on one side and an unemployed person recieving benefits on your other side. 
This ancient antiquated notion of classes doesn't have any meaning in London. There are no middle class or upper class or even lower class boroughs. You should remove this. 
It doesn't add to the article in any way at all either.

Talk:Sipson

message: What an odd way to describe what, according to the London Atlas map, is an area of West London: a "petite road"! The description of the "many parts" (an overworked expression when there are only four!) is odd too: if this is describing a road then Sipson road begins in the north in  West Drayton - built-up area and certainly not farmland. And why Macdonalds should be "an attraction" beats me!!!! Anyway I don't know enough about the place to make any worthwhile amendments, but the map and this article are at odds with one another.

As such, we can go now and take photos and document the place in other ways so that the memory of this centuries-old village can be preserved for posterity. We need to do this soon before Sipson takes on the appearance of a large concrete pancake.

Talk:Stamford Hill

message: Stamford Hill: North or East London?
i always thought of it as North London especially as it has the N' postcode but until recently i didnt realise it was actually in the Borough of Hackney which is classified as East London (i always sought of assumed St' Hill was part of Haringey). I guess its one of those wierd boundary anomalies which no one probably 100% knows the answer to. (unsigned by Dr Girard)
:St H was always a part of Hackney/St Newington, and always the furthest edge. St H was the furthest extent of the Hackney Turnpike Trust, so it was where the 'metropolitan' roads were made up to, historically. Later, it was the terminus of the trams. This is reflected in Haringey starting a couple of hundred yards down the hill on the N. side. These areas need to dovetail somewhere, and it might as well be here 8^) Kbthompson 11:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
