Although my family are from London (Bethnal Green and Bow), I live in North Cambridgeshire. Lots and lots of Londoners are up here for various reasons.
I come to London, Kent and Essex quite often, as I run a mobile disco with a friend (another ex-London lad). We tend to do a lot of 50th, 60th, 70th birthday parties, anniversary and retirement parties, probably because of our age.
We prefer them to be honest. The people are nicer and the music doesn't give us a headache
I also do 'an occasional' trip to corporate clients in my capacity as a hypnotherapist (stress management normally). I find some peoples views on 'London' quite interesting, especially from those who have never actually been there!
