Getting back to Walford, I've not been watching East Enders for long, but
as
I've yet to see anyone apart from Charlie (who's a tax driver) going to
work,
what use have the residents of Albert Square (Walford, not the Stockwell
one)
got for public transport? If all of London was like this, there'd be no
transport problems, in fact the services could close up shop.
With an economy apparently dependent on pulling pints and flogging each
other
gear, Walford is apparently self-contained, someone must drop them food
parcels
by cover of night. Bit like the Prisoner, except nobody tries to escape -
well
when they do, their cars hit barriers and burst into flames. Weird! It's
Science Fiction really!

They do actually have Walford East tube station and the number 15 bus, both
of which you see used infrequently. Nevertheless, as you say, it is very
rare that any of them leave the square or its adjacent streets!
