How did London become home to the ugliest skyscrapers in the world? It's like all of the bad karma they built up over the centuries is seeping out in architecture form.

Every neighborhood in London is called something like Piccadilly or the Queen's Loo, no good architect wants their name associated with that sort of Harry Potter bullshit.

London is basically all financial grifting at this point, especially anything new. The requirements for buildings are: big, drawing attention, break some kind of record, make it look expensive. At no point in the process is taste relevant.

Theres only one place in london thats allowed tall buildings (that arent housing towers) and its canary wharf

And i have to imagine most of london is very thankful for that considering the discerning taste of your average UK skysctaper owner.

They're the tube (subway for you yanks) fare zones, but people use 'em for everything else as well. Zones 1 is the very centre of the city and numbers go up further out you go.

Taking trains in Canada is somehow more expensive than flying and also slower than driving and there's no transit connections or car rentals at the station.

The food is really good though.

just stow people in body bags and knock them out with drugs. reinvent the slave ship into an airliner. more people=green. if the plane/train crashes they are already in bodybags. boom.

I would consider flying if I could do nitrous the whole time. It gets me through the dentist, which is arguably worse.

I think the lower air pressure would reduce the partial pressure of the nitrous so it wouldn't work very well
