Nothing I write will be enough for London.
I lived here for more than four years, and even now, I feel like I’m still walking its streets, still discovering its secrets, still missing its rhythm.
Every season is worth experiencing—spring in Regent’s Park, autumn leaves swirling in Hyde Park, summer evenings by the Thames. And yes, the grey skies are always there to complain about, but in time, even they feel like home.
London isn’t just a city. It’s a habit, a feeling, a place you carry with you long after you leave.
Walk Everywhere, Anywhere
There’s no other way to see London. You walk through it, one street at a time.
🚶♀️ Start at Regent’s Canal. Walk past moored boats, quiet cafés, and bursts of wildflowers. The canal leads you to Camden Market, where the air smells like halloumi fries and fresh churros. Eat them while sitting by the water, watching the city move around you.
🚶♂️ Then just keep walking. To Tower Bridge, to Covent Garden, to Mayfair. London is a city best explored on foot, not because you have to, but because you want to.
You’ll never notice how far you’ve gone until you stop and realize your legs are aching, but your heart is full.
A City That Tastes Like the World
London isn’t just a city, it’s a feast.
🥞 Go to Chinatown for Bubble Wrap waffles—crispy, golden, loaded with ice cream and toppings. Eat it while wandering through Leicester Square.
🍛 Want Indian fine dining? Head to Chutney Mary. Step inside, and suddenly, you’re in a world of elegant spice, rich flavors, and plates that make you pause before taking the first bite.
🛒 Supermarket hopping? Yes, it’s a thing. Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s—each one with its own charm, its own hidden gems. You’ll find yourself picking up chocolate biscuits, crisps in flavors you’ve never imagined, and fresh pastries that disappear before you get home.
A City of History, Clubs & Quiet Luxury
London is a city that remembers.
🏛 Walk past the Oxford and Cambridge Club, the Automobile Club. These places whisper of centuries-old traditions, of meetings held in secret, of history unfolding behind grand doors.
📖 Study at LSE and fall in love. Not just with books, but with the city, the conversations, the life of a student in a place where the world feels just within reach.
🍸 End your night at The George Bar. Order a drink, sit back, and feel the weight of history in the wooden walls and warm lighting.
Spring in Regent’s Park & The Sound of Choirs
🌸 Spring arrives, and Regent’s Park bursts into bloom. Walk through Queen Mary’s Rose Garden, where thousands of roses open in perfect, delicate colors. It’s a place where time slows down, where the air smells like fresh petals, where London feels softer.
⛪ Sunday morning? Go to St. Paul’s Cathedral. Even if you’re not religious, go. Sit inside. Let the choir fill the grand dome with voices so pure they send shivers down your spine.
🏛 Then climb to the top. The view stretches across the city, from the Thames to the towering skyline. Forget the London Eye—this is the view you want.
The Luxury of Escape: Trains, Cliffs & Islands
One of London’s greatest gifts? The ease of leaving it.
🚆 Take a train. Any train. Within hours, you’re somewhere new.
🏞 The Cliffs of Dover. White chalk cliffs, the sea stretching forever. Standing at the edge, you feel the wind, the salt, the quiet power of the sea.
🌊 Rye & Hastings. Small coastal towns with narrow lanes, fresh seafood, and time moving just a little slower.
⛴ Take a boat to the Isle of Wight. Hike across the island, let the coastal breeze clear your mind, and sit on the sand with nothing but the sound of waves.
London gives you everything you need—bustling city life and the escape of nature, all within reach.
Nights of Theatre & Endless Stories
🎭 Go watch The Mousetrap, The Lion King, Hamilton, Harry Potter. Or watch them all. Theatre in London isn’t just a performance—it’s a tradition.
The velvet seats. The hush before the lights dim. The actors stepping onto the stage, bringing stories to life. No matter how many times you go, it always feels special.
London: The City That Never Leaves You
Four years in London. A lifetime wouldn’t be enough.
Nothing more, nothing less—just do whatever you like. The city offers everything.
And once you leave? You’ll miss it. Every single day.
