Here, here! I've always found North London dreadful in terms of transport and ambience.

Ah the great norf / souf divide next there'll be a need for a passport to Pimlico

Anyways its still great that MS Lubyanka is back a ray of light no matter what part of London

You really cannot stereotype.

Just as Brixton is not Chiselhurst is not Lewisham. Dulwich Village looks like a slightly more suburban version of Hampstead. Or Hampstead a more Jewish/ Mittleuropan and slightly more intense version of Dulwich, if you will. East Dulwich and Kentish Town have similarities.

Norf London has the Tube, except of course in Hackney and points north.

South London has some quite good train services.

North Circular is marginally more of a ring road than South Circular, but neither is pleasant to drive upon.

Neither is particularly brilliant at E to W as opposed to out to in-- but the Wimbledon tram does have that attribute.

Croydon was bombed heavily and then rebuilt/ major redevelopment in the 1960s, and is still struggling with the legacy of that-- ugly buildings, separation between people and roads in classic 60s Town Planner style, some pretty lousy looking council estates etc. Big plans for redevelopment are now proceeding, given the transportation advantages it *should* be a much nicer place than it is. Here's hoping they will get it right this time.

Right now it feels like a better connected Tottenham, and that's not particularly a compliment (although Tottenham does have very good community spirit).

Maybe someone should start a thread on locations as i am sure there would be many differing views, but please lets keep this about Mistress Lubyanka.

Anyone with thoughts about Miss L's new premises and location, please? Is she still as good (ie the best in London) as she's always been? Does she still seem enthusiastic and into her sessions?

It's hard to quantify who is best Mistress in London as I've only visited one Mistress in the past 11 years and anyway it is very subjective but Mistress Lubyanka in my opinion is as good, if not better than ever!
As for the premises they are up to her usual impeccable standard. I know you do not like Croydon but her premises are very discreet and only a 10 minute walk from either West or East Croydon Stations

I think my session with Mistress Lubyanka in May (my first with her for at least 3 years, alas, alas) was perhaps the best session I have had with her, certainly letter than any since the time she used to use Mistress Avalon's premises, and perhaps because she always felt the need to exercise caution in her previous place, great house and location though it was. Excellent though she remains, I can assert however, that Mistress Lubyanka is not the best mistress in London. But only on the technicality that as far as I am concerned Croydon is in Surrey and not in London, whatever the London Government Act 1963 might have to say about the matter.

For a moment Petronius my friend. I thought you were going to get yourself into trouble.
