Re: Pollution in London

London's quite a big area! could you get it down to NW, NE &c? Are you talking about built-up areas or green ones, and what sort of rubbish are you talking about?

Re: Pollution in London

You only have to walk along the streets in London to get gassed in rush-hour.

Re: Pollution in London

Not really true any longer - since the congestion charge was introduced London is a far more pleasant place to walk in ---- and I do a lot of it. There are far worse towns/cities for car pollution although I won't name names at this time (not Sheffield of course).

In fact I am searching after areas in South London or in Central London. I am based near Vauxhall. I would find some rubbish like cans, wraps, bottle, cigarettes,plastic,......
In green or built-up areas.

Check with your Local Authority - they should have maps of hots spots, fly tipping locations etc.
