London's Secret Society: The Dark Side of the Capital

[@Jim90117]

I am British and I have no intention of ever visiting my capital city, I don't even recognise it as British and feel so bad for tourists who want to go there to see British culture.

About friendship this is so true! I didn’t think that in London this problem too exists. Friendship takes time and efforts from both sides. But when people choose all the time (if smth didn’t work out from the 1st time) to run… that’s sad bc leads to no strong relationships.

Pro Tip = if you want to experience 'modern' London ... go to Hyderabad, Mumbai, New Delhi, or Kabul ... you will get the same 'cultural enrichment' at 10-20% of the cost

[@mazibukomail]

Don't forget Pretoria.

[@justyna.kasprowicz]

Thanks for the advice!

London is the worst city I've ever lived in. I've lived in London, Rome, Madrid, Moscow and Athens and London was by far the most dismal, depressing and flat out gross city I have ever stepped foot in.

[@ir0n2541]

What was the best city ?

[@illomens2766]

@@ir0n2541 Rome was the best, Moscow second and Athens third.

I wish had seen a video like this a couple of years ago , my I have to to London for work I am in team that was merged when the office when lease ended . I used to work in Southend now I work in Stratford hybrid working patten. I've noticed the things you mention in terms of relaltionships . I don't particularly feel part close in terms of the relationships becasue I live over forty Miles a way.

London is a dump as soon as you leave zone 1.

Thanks for your opinion!

Everyone wants to use London - but it always ends up using them.

The only things that make you spend a lot of money in London is food. Nobody is press ganged into spending money oh fashion!... 🤷🏿‍♂️ 😪

We taught the world how to be civilised and taught morals to everybody now they come here to take i bet you agree

Interesting observation. Essentially you are complaining about paradox of choice in London.

[@justyna.kasprowicz]

Sort of!

It has so many things you can’t afford to do. You pay two grand a month to live in a shoebox and watch Netflix year-round.

[@amazonfinds9157]

Exactly after rent you don’t have enough to enjoy yourself so you just stay home all day

[@justyna.kasprowicz]

Thanks for your opinion!

[@cricketylife8742]

To be fair, most of these are true for metros around the world. Perhaps, the city has more to offer in terms of cultural and social experiences than other metros. Glad I'm not the only one who finds it weird that you are supposed to act normal with people who ghosted you after going out with you for months.

[@olermochannel]

Well said, Cute dimple London.... Try to visit Philippines po!

[@justyna.kasprowicz]

Will do one day!

[@oceanografer]

Moving to London outskirts soon, so, it's a nice early warning!

[@justyna.kasprowicz]

Some people love it so I’m curious what you will think!

[@johnbuffaloiam9741]

I dont understand why you dont help out your country instead ? It was England that taught poland culture and given you opportunities. You should take this forward

[@justyna.kasprowicz]

You don't have to understand.

[@Londonsteve56]

England taught Poland culture? That's not just false, it's staggeringly arrogant.

[@VendomeK-iw9uy]

This person isn’t very smart

[@justyna.kasprowicz]

Thanks for your opinion, thankfully I don't care.
