I'm a student due to start my first job in the City next month (I'm
terrified, I've only ever been to London 5 times!!).

Can anyone give me any advice on how to get around London late(ish) at
night? From, say, Bank station to Hanger Lane. How safe is the tube at
about 11pm? Does anyone local know how much a cab to the Hanger Lane
area from the City would cost?

Any advice really would be much appreciated,


This is just typical of the situtation in London these days - people with no
connection to the capital whatsoever are being offered jobs, and relocating
here,

Non-Londoners in London...heaven forbid!!!

and indiginous Londoners are forced further and further out to find
work. It makes no sense at all.

Well, actually it does if locals don't have the required skills.

Go to just about any office in London, and you'll find a ragbag of regional
accents, while unemployment (or economic inactivity) in the inner London
boroughs is sky high. This problem is *far* worse than any scaremongering
about asylum seekers.


And, yes, Bank to Hangar Lane is perfectly safe at any time, and is a very
easy commute. Single journey on the central line.

Ahh, you finally got to the point, thanks.

I would, however, like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for
their responses, you've all (ahem ahem, most^:-)^)been really helpful
and have certainly put my mind at rest. I can't wait to move in!!
