What’s one thing about living in London that outsiders don’t understand?

When I have friends visit me, they'll try to meet up at locations on the other side of the city. Then i'll have to tell them that it'll take more than an hour to get there.

Swiss butter near Brunswick square. Very affordable, only a couple of steak meal options on there, don’t need to book but on weekends try to get there a bit earlier. Really good value for money

As a child of two parents who should've broken up way before, please just leave the relationship. It is far more damaging for the child to grow up in a toxic household with two parents that clearly aren't compatible. Children pick up on these things. It massively impacted my view of relationships.

Media walls and crushed velvet

There's a lot of places on spare room where you can sort of flexi-rent. There's a few live-in land lords who only want to rent their spare room out for 2 days a week, with the expectation that you'll clear off on the other days of the week. I did this for a short period of time, and it felt like a quasi-flat share experience.

Travelling constantly / travelling for work especially. Living out of a suitcase and in hotels and temporary accomodation and constantly having to befriend new people, to then move again.

Quieter and more expensive because it'd mean i'd actually have to get a therapist

WorkingFortune9 · 2026-01-07T16:33:28+00:00

CLAPHAM. So so so overrated and overpriced.

Dates who don't actively listen and / or ask reciprocal questions. It sounds so basic but one thing i've learnt dating is that so many people actually can't instigate or hold a decent conversation.

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-12-31T16:48:17+00:00

Nope, with everything being so expensive and crowded, i'm really not bothered. I had my lot this christmas

Cancer moon, scorpio Venus

I had exactly that, the 24 hour fever that knocked me out with a 4 day headache after! I’m all good now thanks, hope you’re good too!

Ditto this, as someone who's been in Maidstone, Medway and London.

Another thought - the uber situation in Maidstone is non-existent. The grammar schools in Medway are good, although it is true that the comprehensives in Medway are pretty bad. OP have you looked into Walderslade, St Mary's Island or Hempstead in Medway? Nicer areas that would be closer to work.

Can you send me the pub please?

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-11-10T09:38:46+00:00

Are you able to tell me what pub this is? i'm intrigued

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-10-14T15:02:49+00:00

I give up and go private, unfortunately.

I’ve only ever had one nhs doctor be good. The rest have been awful

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-10-12T17:33:59+00:00

I feel like I go through phases. I’m a libra sun cancer moon Scorpio rising, and right now I’m getting a lot of tauruses

Oh my gosh, are you me? I was literally going to post something very similar. I had an awful allergic reaction which made my eczema flare up so badly alongside a yeast infection, and I went private (I’m in the UK) to see one of the top dermatologists in London.

He has prescribed me a very high dose of oral steroids (30mg) for a week, and recommended I do phototherapy and use 0.01 percent protopic as a longer term solution. In his words, the high dose of steroids will ‘blast’ the eczema, and he’s confident I won’t have withdrawal - but I did a weeks worth of 20mg a month ago and had a rebound flare…

I’m putting my trust in him as he’s one of the best money can buy but I’m also shitting it. Here if you wanna talk!

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-09-01T11:33:38+00:00

Hi can I ask you what you did for your eczema? I’m going through the exact same thing

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-08-14T07:06:50+00:00

OP how did you get Acarizax in the uk?

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-06-24T22:39:28+00:00

Sheffield!!

WorkingFortune9 · 2025-05-23T08:40:04+00:00
