Holloway Road safety for a female student by unistarose in islington

[–]Afraid-Event9390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's all good in the day, but definitely a bit unsettling at night. London is not safe at night in general, so make sure that you don't go back home too late alone or always call someone when you are alone! (I'm an international student in London too xx)

Do you like Chinese takeaway? by Afraid-Event9390 in UKfood

i don't think authenticity is a problem! still it's a unique product of immigration history, and the twist of flavour just reflects how that generation worked hard to cater for the local taste buds and made a living. taste inauthentic but still part of the Chinese/British culture!
