Gone to the dogs! (or not as the case may be!)


I have just read in The Guardian that a rescue bid is being put forward to save Walthamstow Dogs, I hope it succeeds.
There used to be 33 dog tracks in London and now there will only be one left, Wimbledon.
Whole swathes of working class culture are being lost in London, either through gentrification or re-development, look at what we have already lost to the Olympic fiasco!
Everything seems to be geared around expensive sit down meals, gastro-pubs, deli's, coffee chains etc.
Do we need another block of expensive, designer, lifestyle flats for the metrosexual urban elite?

There's still Romford (not quite London tho).
