Detailed explanation-1: -London is absolutely a polluted city. It’s by far the worst area of England for light pollution, according to the Campaign to Protect Rural England. Of the 20 brightest districts in the entire country, 19 are London boroughs.
Detailed explanation-2: -There’s even more bad news for the greatest city in the world. On top of a renting crisis, continual rail/bus/tube/tram strikes and the encroaching doom of widespread gentrification, our air is also incredibly polluted.
