If you follow me on any social media you may know that I semi recently made the move up to London to work a PR placement for the summer. As much as the city is an amazing place to be their are some serious grievances I have after moving up the big city from a small village.
- Rush hour on the tube
- Pigeons everywhere
- Having to dodge various Yoda’s on the street (if you know, you know)
- Trying to work out the tubes when drunk on a night out
- £15 for a vodka Cranberry
- People chasing (yes literally chasing) you down the street for your number
- Forgetting to tap out your oyster and getting a fine
- Having a cold on the morning commute train and feeling the glaring eyes with every sneeze
- Annoying people who sneeze on the morning commute
- Covent Garden tube station
- Paying for cash machines
- Ques for all the restaurants/pubs on a Friday evening
- Foxes everywhere
- 27376879 nearby people to attempt to sift through on Tinder
- Night busses/tubes
- The heat
- Weekend transport
- Being branded depending on where you live/frequent
That being said, I had an amazing time living in London and would urge anyone to give it a try. What are your favourite/least favourite things about London?
