Why the Scaddabush hate?

Just got downvoted to hell for recommending Scaddabush on another post! I am shocked! They handled our large party seamlessly, food came fast and warm, vibe was cozy and family friendly, and everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks... What am I missing??

And remember, don't call LPS to complain about low flying aircraft.

B'52 flyover?

Hello from across Lake Erie in Ohio. I was tracking a B'52 Stratofortress over London and wondered if anyone heard or saw it? It's the first B'52 I had ever seen show up on flight tracker. Interesting to me for some odd reason. Thanks for your input.

Best golf course for beginners?

Hi all, my partner and I started golfing this summer and have been to a few different courses. We’re very very much new and of course with that, comes us being slower. Any suggestions of courses in/around London that would be most ideal for beginners? Thank you!

Columbia Employee store

Hey all,

Travelling to London soon from abroad for a wedding. Was really hoping to take some relatives to the Columbia Employee store. The last time I went there I got some great deals!

Would anyone know how I might be able to get a hold of some tickets?

I know they used to send them out to health care workers and teachers but not sure if they still do that?

Cheers!

Looking for playgrounds in London with tall equipment

My son has a set of toy army men with parachutes and we want to find the tallest playground structure in London to drop them from.

Does anyone know of playgrounds with unusually tall towers, slides, or climbing structures?

I want to clean up the woods and thames river on weekends. Is there a group I can join?

I have free time, love nature, and need to give myself a little purpose. How can I clean up the river and garbage with other people? :) I have no car, so I cannot bring the garbage to the dump, but I am more than happy to pick everything up and put it in a bag!

Dishwasher Repair Person Recommendation

Hello London! My dishwasher is really messed up right now! We installed it last year when renovating our kitchen, and it was bought used by only barely. The last owner said she only used it a few times. They were being forced to move from their home and had to sell everything.

It’s leaving a weird feeling white cast on all the dishes. We’ve checked the internal filter that catches food and cleaned that out, and still is getting worse.

Are there any recommendations for a repair person?

Love it or hate it ?

London’s courthouse is kind of a wild building when you actually stop and look at it

Walked past the courthouse on Dundas and took this photo. I’ve seen this building a million times, but never really thought about how massive and almost fortress-like it looks.

It was built in the 1970s and is a pretty classic example of Brutalist architecture — lots of concrete, narrow windows and basically zero attempt to make it look welcoming.

I know people have mixed feelings about buildings like this, but I actually think it’s one of the more interesting buildings downtown. It definitely has a presence.

Love it, hate it, or never really noticed it?

Do I NEED a car ?

been living in Toronto DT for the past few years, never owned a car and never felt like I NEEDED one. even with kids. everything was walking distance and if not, it'd be a streetcar/subway ride away.

I'll be moving to London soon. I might not have a car for the first few months. is it doable ? is public transportation reliable in London ? is it accessible ? I'll be doing daycare/school drop-offs with stroller/wagon.
or should I long-term rent until I get a car ?

Is there any city plans to clean the Thames River…?

The Thames river is really beautiful, we are known to be the forks of the Thames…for our numerous beautiful trees making us stand out as Forrest city..

It appears the city is starting to focus more on the buildings surrounding and highlighting the core.

However I am saddened with all the beauty of the river, trees and animals that surround it…that there is just wayyy too much garbage in the river, full bikes, tires.. and who knows what else.

I don’t ever hear anything about how the city is taking care of the river…

I feel like this will become a much bigger problem in the upcoming years too if not managed now.

Is there any plans on this? Is there anything we can do? A group that does this stuff we can join?

Seamstress/crafty person

Hello!

My great aunt recently had her husband pass - she has mentioned a few times about wishing to have a pillow or cushion that has a pouch that she can put a sachet of his ashes in.

She has an idea of what fabric she'd like - she also has mentioned having some sort of an embroidery saying on it - my thought is 'together forever' type thing.

Do any of you fine fellow redditors know of a local seamstress that can get something like this sorted?

She would prefer a talented individual over store/amazon.

She is a beauty.
