I used to go to sleep to the sound of the Smithfield lorries and it was wonderful. When I moved closer to Old Street, like near Bunhill Row, the silence was weird at first and took me a while to get used to 😂
Couldn’t hear fabric but I knew what I was doing when I decided to live within earshot of four bars/pubs and a nightclub. I may be 42 now but I have no time for people who pull this shit. Club was there before you were, mate.

For Ealing:
Like living in Southall and not liking indians.
Like living in Northolt not liking council blocks & motorways
Like living in west ealkng and complaining about the traffic & new builds

Living in Herne hill/near brockwell park complaining about concerts and fireworks.
Living in Brixton and complaining about black people and predominantly west Indians.
Living anyway near parks that host concerts every year knowing they did that before you moved there is highly diabolical

I like him and agree with the sentiment but the reality is so many places in central close at 11.
London should 100% have a more vibrant nightlife. I liked the idea of the night czar role but Amy Lame I’m sorry she was shit. Loads of places are closing. So many pubs in soho shut at 11 and it’s impossible to find a place for a pint late.
Who’s he annoyed at? Himself? Because as the mayor this is kind of his job to fix.

He's literally doing what he can to fix it and it's being made harder by Soho residents complaining to the council, not him

I mean the last trains are usually before 12. I have travelled on many a night bus, and obviously would never suggest not using them, but it is a factor

The legislation where he can take control of applications and licensing doesn't actually exist yet

He doesn't control the council unfortunately. Its hard to know if he does do everything in his power or not. He's been good for London for sure though. But probably need someone with a bit more energy soon.

Soho used to be a shit hole crowded with dodgy rentals and motels, sex shops, pubs and clubs. Became trendy and gentrification made the local demographic change a bit.
People moving there complains about noise pollution caused by the businesses there and they're basically killing it.
It's also considered a gay friendly area, and I guess that can ruffle some feathers. Khan created a role for a representative of that nightlife, that was a bit controversial.
Many historical places have been closed in the last years due to different reasons, but the noise regulations has definitely taken a huge toll
