Things about London

Some things I’ve noticed about London since moving here and been home a few times:

• It’s a very busy city, especially at the weekend. There is always people everywhere all the time. No one seems to want to stay at home. Having said that, I did notice a bit of a lull in January
• There is always something to do
• Clubbing is a very different experience than in Dublin. Pubs and disco bars are more the scene as I find them more accessible. Or maybe I’m just getting old.
• Bar staff are generally shite but of course, there are exceptions.
• Drink is a lot cheaper but general living is much the same. Accommodation is of course extortionately more expensive
• The health care system is fantastic
• The transport infrastructure is generally fantastic, not only in London but the country as a whole
• London is very ethnically mixed, to point where Dublin is extremely white in comparison
• People are always in a rush and run every where and it’s a very on demand culture. If anyones ever played any of the PS2 generation of GTA games, it’s a bit like the pedestrians sprinting off for no reason
• People are generally a bit less friendly
