I live in Thornton Heath but I come all the way here all the time to see my good friend, Enid, who lives in Clapham Park. Twenty odd years we’ve known each other. We worked together in a nursing home and we retired together. So I come and we do the Tai Chi and the Over 50s. I came to London in 1992 from Jamaica when my sister sent for me. I like London, it’s busy and I have lots of friends here.
