But living in London,
we don't have local radio anyway.

LBC, Thames FM, Capital (For certain values of local), Radio Kent,
Mercury FM. If you're in the North of London, Chiltern FM used to be
good... Mostly owned by one investment company now, though, and with
annoyingly similar playlists and speech formats, but that's nationwide.
Commercial local radio in Manchester sounds like London local radio with
a northern eccent.

Has a list of what can be received in most of London. And for *really*
local, there's always your friendly pirate, broadcasting from somewhere
on your local council estate. Call the cellphone number given and you
might get a track played.


No community stations in your Manor then?...
