When you think about it, there are so many things below London, sewers, rail systems, building foundations, pipes etc etc. Some of the buildings are quite big, as well. There's only so much ground below the floor. How does it all stay up?
 
Oh I don't know, do Like London, visited London many times from my location in the Highlands of Scotland and its always been fun, normally the Sleeper train from Inverness but hired car drives down too with my Rocker pals to see the big Gigs :)
Over the years seen live in London, Pink Floyd (Gilmours Floyd) 1994 at Earls Court, hear place is demolished now, please say that's not true?
Been to the Royal Albert Hall to see a Joe Satriani G3 show, Metallica at Twickenham just before 2019 Covid lockdown and that was crazy and fun, getting home again was a challenge from our train service to NE Scotland next day, but we made it .. a real adventure.

Much more too.

I'm due a London visit again soon.

This is all very nice, but what are your thoughts on the stability of the London sewage systems, underground transport hubs, the proliferation of new builds and the ability of the capital's subsoil to maintain new and future superstructures long-term?
