as a kid, I've always wanted to go to London and immerse myself in the culture and the scene, find interesting people in weird places and maybe that would trigger a creative breakthrough, just like so many artists before. I'm not even sure if that if will be possible in the near future, once I've got the means to do it.

Stay where you are

[@jonathanhughes2199]

Do it. You won't regret it.

[@marlowename3713]

if you do come to somewhere in south where the interesting stuff is at like brixton or peckham where FWF are from

[@cstrongman]

A lot of London is overwhelmingly vanilla and dare I say drab but there are still MANY interesting places and people if you know where to find them. There's a lot of fluff but there's also a lot of treasure. If it's a dream of yours to come you should do it for that reason alone and if you get here and it's not what you expected you'd probably still gain something from it. You might just love it here, unlike so many of us who love to say we don't hahaha.

I hope you are right about the scene coming back Alex, the arts are needed more than ever

[@matmc71]

I would love to share your optimism Dan, but alas, social media has killed any chance of a scenario coming back. Until that cultural cancer calms down, people just will not congregate enough in a creative way. After early rock n roll, there was The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and the "Beat" sound, then psychedelia, then prog rock, then punk, then new romantic"s, then acid house, then (this is where it starts losing potency) Brit-pop and nothing has REALLY happened since. Grime? Dubstep? Not really. I would love something to happen (even tho I'm way too old to get involved!) but the signs are not very promising. This country does not encourage nor sufficiently fun the arts, and, as you rightly say, they are needed more than ever. All the best. Sorry for rather long comment!!

It's funny how this is genuine but a joke at the same time

[@mnuelchourico1489]
