By Faima Bakark 25/05/2022 12 I have a confession to make: I have never been to Southall – the bustling district colloquially dubbed Little Punjab or Little India (you might have seen it in Bend it Like Beckham). It boasts South Asian clothing, food, entertainment – everything I love in other cultural hotspots around London such as Ilford, Whitechapel or Forest Gate (Green Street). The trouble was, Southall, or even Ilford and other East London hotspots since I moved to Greenwich, were inaccessible to me. But the Elizabeth Line is to remedy all that. Because within half an hour, I can now go from Woolwich to Ilford, or from Ilford to Southall. Where it would take hours to go from one place to the other on the bus, it now takes less than 60 minutes, thanks to the line unveiled this week with much pomp and circumstance. Though you might need to change for the trains going to your destination, the Elizabeth line route is still smoother than the journeys of yore. And it means those who previously found these destinations too troublesome to get to can now enjoy communities they were previously not privy to. South Asians can relish between Southall, Ilford, Forest Gate, Whitechapel, Stratford, Romford and more – all of which boast many Asian paraphernalia. Think of the late night Eid festivities of Ilford Lane now able to be enjoyed by so many more people, or Sikhs being able to access the biggest gurdwara in London – the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even connects to Slough apparently Now things have opened up since the lockdowns. I've seen a few instances of some really creepy behaviour by blokes towards females. I like to think that women are waking up to realities instead of living in lala land but you know what they can be like...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
