Seven Sisters

mmmm!!

comida corriente: COP 18,000!

Seriously, never made it there. Whenever I've passed by, I've always made a mental note to visit - maybe next time.

Seven Sisters in the North, Elephant and Castle in the South ..... that means Parliament is surrounded by Colombians! Great! I'll be able to come home soon.

Leave the big stick at home...carry a cannon!

I gather the Seven Sisters is much the larger of the markets. It was great fun. I'm going to go again soon.

American- it opens at 9.00 in the morning. I don't know when it closes. It's very near Seven Sisters tube.

Thanks American.

I've just had a look at your adoption thread. If the council were handing out £400 a week, I'd adopt Sam Salmon.

Very close to Stamford Hill, seven sisters is the tube station just down the road from tottenham hotspurs football ground, on the A 10 a main road in and out of london. Also very close the A1 holloway road close to Arsenals football ground you'll find colombian and ecuatorian cafes.However elephant and castle and newington butts, lambeth, bermondsey just over the river Thames south have the highest populous of chibchombianos around 200 thousand, here you'll find estancos, tiendas, huge salsa clubs, empanadas, pandebonos, paisas, cale;os , rolos etc etc, realy is a mini colombia

GOD BLESS change.

Only the Colombians that no longer want to be Colombian go to London.

kalder says on Apr 17, 2008, 06:05:

The old question of how many Colombians in London?

Well, La Camp's depiction of 200,000 living in southeast London alone, serviced by endless rows of salsatecas, tiendas and pandelarias is a bit of a stretch. But a university Sociology dept. did conduct an investigation that suggests that there are maybe 200,000 in the country as a whole, the majority living in London.

dwmte7- In the London I grew up in, it certainly was a case of stewed greens and chewy meat. To me food was an ordeal until I took up with an Italian girl. Thanks largely to foreign cuisines becoming mainstream, food in England is OK now.

kalder says on Apr 17, 2008, 06:11:

Elmo's a cheeky scamp. But it'd be interesting to know how many UK Colombians would prefer to live in the States. If you eliminated the 'grass is always greener' element, it'd be intriguing to see what imagined benefits they'd see in moving over there. Well, Kat's supplied one- easier travel back home. But if you asked me, if you took NYC as an example, I imagine life there and life in London would be pretty much the same. I expect the Miami thing would appeal to the party crowd.

Kalder that's the only thing i will go and live in Miami and the weather... but if i could have this in the UK i won't be bother with the USA at all :))

london is gotta be a very nice place for londoners.
my brother was stationed (USA Navy) in scotland for a couple years. after 9 month he tried to commit suicide by swalllowing a dozen nails.
I asked him. why?
he told me that he was so fokin bored in europe he could not take it anymore.
I says "no, why did you swallow all those nails? why not just blow your fokin head off with your navy issued side arm?"
He did not really want to die, only to be stationed back in puerto rico or san diego california,
They shipped him off to Orlando, where he decided to stay after his tour was over

thank you

i visited europe once, epcot center, europe pavillion in orlando, did not go back after that.
too quiet and robotic for me, i need to be around noise and mayhem.
barranquilla and nyc suits me just fine.
I love the constant police and ambulance sirens you hear in NYC. it tells me there are Living breathing people out there , not boring robots

Colombians in London?
Well, I guess anybody loving Bogota's weather, would also love London's one. No problem.

Swallowed nails because he was miserable in Scotland and had to get out. I had to get up and walk that laughter off.

Elmo, did your brother get a medical discharge, a section 8, or a dishonorable discharge. Certainly they didn't just overlook his suicide attempt. Unless he didn't report it and passed the nails in a bowel movement.

What are the summers in London like?

Summers in London are brutal. Humid and very hot. The thermometer's been known to touch 40 C.

Summer? what summers? heh
really I don't live in London but i have noticed many people go to Hyde park there are beautiful parks in London so maybe you ca spend a beautiful day there.

In wales well we have the Brecon beacons we go climbing, around were i live we have activities like trekking , kayaking, canoing, bike paths, mountaineering and we have the River Wye near so many people do picnics or BBQ by the river, lots of outdoors cafes I don't mind the UK when the weather is nice people seem to come out of their holes and do lots of stuff

summers in london can be very hot. People usually go to parks for picnics, go shopping, wear very skimpy outfits...party more. I love London summers. Only thing is London is not used to these new type of summers and its often difficult to find a/c'ed places.

As for chicharron in Seven Sisters, can you not find deep-fried pif fat all over Britain, chopped up in small bits? It's called pork scratchings.

You must have stumbled across some rather gourmet bags of "Mr. Porkys" to make that comparison.
