African as a noun? surely that's not appropriate... Paulbrock 01:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Africans in London or England?

It might be interesting to mention that Africans had been brought to England/Scotland long before the 1600s and had already integrated into society. The Romans brought a garrison of Africans to help fight at Hadrian's Wall and then left them there. They might have also been used to mine resources.

But were they black in the sense of looking like Usain Bolt? They would have been North Africans rather than sub-Saharan Africans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.156.95 (talk) 16:45, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Likely mistyping

Google finds South bark bridge only in this article. Should bark be bank? Though what does South bank bridge mean? Is Southwark bridge better?--SilasW 15:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC) - I'm pretty sure it's Southwark Bridge, I remember reading something about it.--Lopakhin (talk) 16:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC) (edited)[reply]

Most likely. So why not confirm it and make the edit then? --Wally Tharg (talk) 21:34, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Poor quality

This articles is of such poor quality, especially the language. It is, quite frankly, terribly written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HSDR (talk • contribs) 21:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The title isn't great to start with. 'History of black people in London' might be better or 'Black immigration to London'. The first line could do with expanding a bit. --Lopakhin (talk) 10:54, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, but this articles (sic!) belongs to all of us. Rather than just complaining, why not put in some effort and improve it? --Wally Tharg (talk) 21:34, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
