OPINION - Greetings Paul Scully, from the 'no go' area Tower Hamlets — real London life is here
One of the gifts of living in a city as potentially daunting as London is taking ownership of a corner of it. Nothing anchors you like local knowledge. The longer you stay somewhere, the more emotional it becomes, an esoteric feeling lodged somewhere warmly around the stomach, like a hot-water bottle. That feeling, I suppose, is what we call home. It shapes your worldview. In this respect, London boroughs turn into something like a family member. From within, slag them.
