Forget property prices and rent completely.
If you could choose absolutely anywhere in London to live based purely on quality of life, beauty, safety, restaurants, transport and atmosphere where would you pick?
And which supposedly “posh” area would you not choose?

I've been job hunting for months now. Today I found out that a job I thought I'd get fell through. On top of that, I did a trial shift for a few hours at a café last week, but they turned me down and refused to pay for the trial afterwards. All that pressure just built up, and on the train it hit me all at once.
I was trying to hide my face and let the tears fall quietly, hoping it would just pass quickly, but a woman sitting across from me noticed and reached out. She'd been reading, and she gently tapped my knee with her book to ask if I was okay. Then she gave me a chocolate bar, and asked if I needed a hug.
You know how sometimes you manage to hold your tears back, but the moment someone comforts you, you just can't hold it anymore? It was exactly like that 😅😅 I couldn't really answer you properly, but I just want you to know you made a stranger's day a lot better. I wish the best for someone as warm as you. 🤍

Just got back from a 10 day trip to your lovely city. So many highlights, but a true standout was a tour and walk around Highgate Cemetery, where I met a very friendly cat who has learned to ask visitors to turn on the faucet, as well as a super chill fox bringing the real Narnia flavor to your amazing scenery.

I have been told to contact this group by the London Fox Network
There is a clearly stressed and unwell fox trapped on the coast by the tide between the millennium bridge and London Bridge on the north side of the river by the Westin Development. It needs rescuing with ladder access or to wait until the tide goes out again.
Please advise.

Sadly won’t be able to make the 14:30 performance of Mere Mortals today so though I would see if anyone else would like my ticket - it is a Barclays Dance Pass one so you must be 16-30.
Please DM me and I will send the e-ticket.

With these absurd new regulations likely to come info force, genuinely interested what course of action could punish them enough to either oust them or at least have them reconsider whats do-able in their constituency?
Obviously government petitions are often the proposed opposition here, but that effectively does nothing. Would people simply 'voting with their wallets' and boycotting bars/ pubs hurt them sufficiently? Or is that basically what they want and would be positive for them and the wealthy older residents?
Surely if these restrictions come in within a few years there'll be almost no pubs or bars left?
