Can we have separate board for London

Is there possibility to give us that?

I would like to be able to share my findings like a nice coffee shop I visited today and ask others to share their favourite finds.

Talk about local plays (musical theater or theater) or places and walks to visit not necessarily as a tourist but a Londoner.

To talk about history on London and various activities available for grown ups.

I've seen posts like that in chat and other boards in the past but they are hard to search for and obviously some disappear after a certain time.

Thanks Lorna, though can you say where it's sitting? Which menu?

Hi, all!

The London topic is good to go.

Enjoy Flowers

Thank you, MNHQ

Great news!

FruJustFru · 12/01/2017 13:40

Thanks for the update, Lorna

impostersyndrome · 10/01/2017 21:29

Great, thanks!

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 10/01/2017 20:07

Hooray

SquirmOfEels · 10/01/2017 20:02

Thanks Star

Hope it will be worth the wait!

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 10/01/2017 14:44

It's also going to be helpful for visitors when all the information on how public transport works and suggestions on places to visit are all in one place.

MsHooliesCardigan · 10/01/2017 14:16

Hooray! It will be nice to have a space to talk about things happening here without someone instantly telling us that we're all elitists who think that the world ends at the M25.

MorrisZapp · 10/01/2017 12:06

Sounds good! I'm in Edinburgh but regularly visit London. Would be great to see what's happening there and get advice/ inspiration for trips.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 10/01/2017 11:59

Fantastic! Thanks Lorna!

Smallinthesmoke · 10/01/2017 11:06

Hurrah! Thankyou MNHQ

Hi, all!

Sorry for the delay. We've got good news...

We have been discussing this suggestion here at MNHQ and we think it's a very interesting idea!

We'll be putting the wheels in motion for a London topic soon.

I'd like this too. I work in London but live elsewhere so can't join the local group for my workplace address. I'd love to hear (and share) recommendations for local places to my office.

impostersyndrome · 08/01/2017 15:39

Yup, I'm also supportive.

Becles · 05/01/2017 07:00

Ooh. Another interested one who missed this the first time round, any news?

SquirmOfEels · 05/01/2017 06:20

Happy New Year!

As a Resolution, can the response that was promised to this be bumped up someone's in-tray, so we can have an answer soon?

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 26/12/2016 22:48

Yes, I post on the "what to do in London" threads regularly too. Often the information can be more or less copied & pasted from my previous posts on other threads.

And it doesn't really help if HQ move them to the UK or Travel advice boards because then they get lost.

Plus there have been some fabulous recommendations on London threads before & it would be great to have them all in one place.

SquirmOfEels · 26/12/2016 19:55

Yes YesThisIsMe

I'm just posting on another 'what to do in London for a few days?' thread. And will keep doing so, on any thread where I think I can help.

But that doesn't stop me wanting to see the answer from MHHQ that they promised about 10 months ago

YesThisIsMe · 21/12/2016 20:25

I can't believe that I didn't post on this the first time round but yes, there's such a huge number of "what shall I do with the DC on our day trip to London?" "How do I use an oyster?" "What's the quickest way to Leicester Square from Euston with a double buggy?" questions from visitors that clearly can't possibly go on a Local board because the poster in question lives in Chippenham. And if I in Lambeth, want to ask anyone for brilliant ideas for restaurants to take the inlaws or ballet schools for DD, then I need advice from people who know Southwark and Westminster. Chat disappears so we find ourselves explaining what an Oyster is to confused visitors every three months.

EdithWeston · 21/12/2016 20:08

It's been nearly 10 months since MNHQ said they'd report back 'as soon as possible'

Is this a record?

SquirmOfEels · 19/12/2016 14:03

Still waiting for that reply promised by MNHQ...

SquirmOfEels · 01/09/2016 06:24

A thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2721470-Where-is-London which made me think of this one.

MNHQ: you said you'd report back as soon as possible. Any news?

MirrorMirrorOnTheFloor · 13/08/2016 20:44

Yes, please! That 'lesser known things to do in London by yourself' thread needs a home! I'd only heard of about half of them, and I've lived here all my life.
