Where is Charlton anyway?

Picking up on the TV thread below.
Do you not get fed up with this question?
I tend to say near the O2 now - at least people have heard of that, and know it's in London!

And I wonder who'll be the first to answer "Still 5th" ;-)

  • I always said it's near Greenwich, and now it's near the O2
  • I say "Kent"
  • Thames Barrier. Was my point of reference, for those with ferrets etc Greenwich.
  • Strange, i've been asked that loads of times away.

    I always say by the Thames Barrier

  • Got to give the marketing team at AEG huge credit for the way they've completely rebranded a white elephant into something everyone wants a slice of

    Up until the late part of the 1800's, it was part of Kent. Then it just got swallowed up as part of Greater London

    naah, the media had something else at the time to moan/write about so they left it alone.

    I wanna know when they'll install heating and open up the other side.
  • Otherside will be developed over the next 18 months.

    There wasn't any heating or cooling in there went it was the Millennium Experience, you'll either freeze or burn. Loads of the bars have outdoors heaters now though
  • where my heart is
  • Centre of the universe.
  • [cite]Posted By: ThreadKiller[/cite]1/2 a mile fom the centre of the world.

    I might use that one in the future! (Surely it's just a little bit more than half a mile, though?)
  • near the barrier
  • South East London is usually my answer.
  • down the road from Greenwich is the safest bet for me. that usualy shuts them up.
  • Up the road from Woolwich might work too!

    Better for the house price
  • Well, as a resident, you have your own reputation to protect, I guess!
  • We may express it differently, but we're saying the same things now, Rothko - spooky :-)
  • Kentish London (remember when our particular London buses had SELKENT on them?).

    Or if they watch soaps, just say next to that curly bit of the river at the beginning of Eastenders.

    I replied to that question at Los Angeles airport, with the answer of the "Dome" (imigration officer shakes head) just up the road from the "Cutty Sark" still nothing, not far from the "Tower of London" feeling quite pleased with my unoffical tour, "cant say I`ve heard of it " for christ sake, "Buckingham Palace" are yes!! hoo "fecking" ray we got there, "thats where your Prime minister lives".
  • I always say Greenwich, it is in the borough after all and people have heard of Greenwich.

    I think the local buses still have SELKENT on them.
  • Dont you just love Americans.

    On a 30 minute tourist cruise around the Southern half of New York one of the americans asked the boat tour guide if we could expect to see Niagara Falls.
