This is all so true! I spent a lot of time in London last year and it 100% feels like everyone has a huge group of friends, always has plans, and is living the quintessential city life. I think that is all part of the draw to London. Thanks for sharing!! <3
Loved this so much! I left London this summer after 18 years. Very bittersweet but definitely the right time (ref. your final two paragraphs, which really spoke to me). Thank you for the words, which are both beautiful and so relatable.
I love this piece! You’ve captured the beauty, madness and ridiculousness that comes with living in London perfectly. The Uber ride across the river is so accurate 🤌 it’s a feeling like nothing else!
Love this!! I’ve never lived in London but I did work there for a few years and oh my word, the reasoning you give for Londoners always seeming so social now makes soooo much sense! I always used to think ‘how and why do these people go out so spontaneously’ 😂😂
Aww this brought me back to the first time I really visited London and I took a drunken taxi back to my friend's house at 5am. We were crossing the thames, the sun was rising above Big Ben, and it felt so surreal. Definitely movie-like.
Lovely read, all so true. I knew it was the right time when I got fed up of my friends being a minimum 45mn tube ride away... Decided to go back to Paris where everything is closer and smaller !
I got quite emotional while reading this - very well said 🫶🏼
Oh my looord thank you so much! Honestly, to have people relate is my favourite thing. Thank you! 💕

I live in London and can confirm it's almost impossible to get a roast on a Sunday, what kind of sick joke is that?
Literally what is going on with that!!

Hahaha literally! It was when I moved back up north and had access to a car again I was like ohhhhh this is why we don’t do after work drinks
Yep, for real!! I'd also always be the one in London that 'had to get the train back' (and secretly didn't want to be stupidly late to bed hahaha)
