By the time my son was two months old, he’d ridden on Routemaster buses, visited the Royal Academy, strolled around Hyde Park and enjoyed a long lunch at Lina Stores (I ate his truffle tagliatelle for him).
I don’t say this to show off, but because I read recently that London is at risk of becoming a childless city. Experts told The London Assembly that families are rapidly being priced out of the capital, with Londoners facing the choice of moving away or not having children at all. Primary schools are closing, partly thanks to a lack of pupils.
