To the rest of the UK, south east London is just another area in the capital, but those who live there say much differently.
It’s a world of special people and celebrities, much-loved football clubs, life-saving hospitals, and most importantly to some, there are roads that lead out of it...
We asked News Shopper readers what the signs are that someone is definitely from south east London - and some of the answers had us in hysterics.
Let us know which you agree with…
1. “Boy George, Japan/David Sylvian, I would say Kate Bush as she lived in Eltham and Brockley but was actually born in Welling Kent. Squeeze/ Jools Holland”
2. “Getting back to east London through the Blackwall Tunnel”
3. “Our fantastic London hospitals”
4. “Sir Michael Caine, Sir Roger Moore, Crystal PalacE » 5. « Charlton Athletic » 6. « Apart from Lee Ryan it has to be Spike Milligan”
7. “The best thing is getting out of south east London”
8. “The best thing to come out of south east London is the road to north east London”
9. “Kings College Hospital – they have saved my life twice. Still on chemotherapy”
10. “The lovely little café in Lewisham – Maggies”
11. “The road to Kent”
12. “Greeenwich and the pubs on the riverfront and all the green spaces”
13. “Pie and mash”
14. “Millwall”
15. “Me” – a response from a number of News Shopper readers!
We think someone might have actually forgotten to mention the News Shopper…
