London, the city of a thousand cities, cultural melting pot of the world, the home of Austen and Woolf and Wilde, and for almost ten years now, the home of me. What do you think, a decade in, can I be deemed a true Londoner by now? I say yes, and as the first order of business as a londoner, i’m doing a gentle little roast. Because coming here as an immigrant, you definitely have to be prepared to take the good, with the bad. And with the very bad.
I talk about:
- how expensive is london?
- the worst flats in london
- living with flat mates
- the problem with london
- the size of london
- leaving rubbish on the street
- the wealth gap in london
- london is beautiful

I lived in London in 1999 -2000 and I had a beautiful, large flat with a huge bedroom, lounge and roof terrace and the cutest kitchen. It was the top floor of a very grand house in Muswell Hill and I loved it. We paid £115 a week (£57 each a week as there were two of us). No problems, nicely decorated. And the landlady was very nice. Oh, how times have changed. I miss the London of the 90s, there were half the amount of people living there it seemed and people weren't trying to rip you off on every corner.

My parents have lived their whole lives in a small village of only around 2000 people (not in UK). They visited London for the first time last year. They don't enjoy noisy, big cities but they both nearly cried when they saw Tower bridge. They walked the streets with dropped jaws and couldn't believe how insanely beautiful the city is. I myself love London, but can't afford to live there. And yes, these types of videos are great, keep them coming ❤

I lived in London for 10 years; south of the River in various flats and houses, working in Brixton and then Kings Cross/Camden. Lively, vibrant, dirty, noisy, frenetic, exciting, exhausting, rich, poor, cosmopolitan, beautiful, accepting. I loved it. I go back now every once in a while and I'm still charmed, challenged and excited. Recommend, recommend!

@berlinorama 13 күн бұрын

True, and not only are flats very expensive in Berlin, especially in relation to the comparatively low salaries here, but the competition for any halfway affordable flat is massive. Plus so many flat ads are scams. So glad I had the good fortune to buy a place here 22 years ago, when housing was much cheaper. Food is still a lot cheaper here than in London, or also than in big US cities, though the prices have gone up since the pandemic. I lived in London in 1979/80 on a £25/week salary, plus free rent on a room, and I was able to go to the opera etc. A place in the slips at Covent Garden cost £2.50 in those days, I think;-)) Unimaginable now.

I lived in London as I was completing my master's degree in 2011-2012. I had made two small trips there before and loved it. I returned to Paris and been living here for 12 more years now. I do miss speaking English, the diversity, the openness, the politeness, to me it's uncomparable to Paris in terms of people. The city is cleaner and I love the architectural contrasts. It's very vibrant but also more tiring. I left because of the high cost of living (which is already high enough in Paris). Maybe it was a mistake as there could have been more employment opportunities in London. You can also find better quality food more easily in Paris. But I do miss London from time to time and expect to go back there a little bit more in the future (had an almost complete shutdown during the decade, maybe to avoid missing it ^^)

No roaches, but Im Aussie so no big deal. This was around N1 and EC1 so dont know if that made a difference. My last landlord was an Indian family who would bring home cooked Indian curries because they were worried that we were partying too hard and not eating well!

I've now become too grumpy with humans to live among that many of them. I currently live on the side of a mountain on the outskirts of a 10K person city. I was a reluctant visitor to London--so many other European cities on my list--but I had to go through there with my work years ago. Have now visited 6 or 7 times. For me as a Canadian it feels both exciting (nothing comparable here) but also comfortable--all the British history we learn makes it feel a bit like 'ours.' Love walking, people-watching, music venues, West End, restaurants, and the feeling that adventures could happen.

Having lived in London for 16 consecutive years, I consider myself a true Londoner. Finding a decent flat was a constant struggle until we finally purchased our apartment. Every place we looked at either had mould or windows that let the wind blow through like crazy. Prices are exorbitantly high, almost depressing, despite both my husband and I being full-time professionals with high salaries. Maintaining the London lifestyle is challenging. London is a magnificent city, one of the best in the world if you ask me. As an avid traveller, I see it as a true melting pot of Europe and a gigantic metropolis. However, everything went downhill after Brexit.

@edwardt2417 6 күн бұрын

I became intoxicated with London the first time I visited the city at age 12. Moved there in my mid twenties and stayed for 7 years. I left because (1) despite being in the top 10% of UK earners, I was unable to afford to buy a modest 2 bedroom flat in an area that I would be happy with (I can predict I will get chastised for having the audacity to want a 2 bedder in an area of my choice, but I now own a 3 bedroom house 5 minutes walk from a subtropical beach in another G7 country), (2) public transport was just horrendous - expensive and unreliable, and (3) the average British worker was incompetent and lazy, and the bureaucratic nature of British businesses made resolving issues that they created due to their incompetence incredibly difficult and frustrating. Despite its faults, London is the centre of the universe! There is always something intellectually stimulating happening, and the best food from around the world is also to be found there! Also, despite my earlier comment about British workers, Brits in general make wonderful, loyal friends, are wonderfully hospitable, and have a great sense of humour!

Sadly, Berlin going coucou with the prices is true. I am a lucky one having the old contract but the newcommers have to face paying 800-900 euros for a room (!) or 1400-1600 euro for a 50m2 apartment somewhere within a ring. Of course there are cheaper options outside that are still very accessible but the same things I just mentioned were around 40% cheaper just 5-6 year ago. Similar thing with dining out, nowadays when I go to a mid-range restaurant I always leave 30-40 euros (including one drink) no matter if it's a dinner or a brunch. Even looking at the ultimate falafel prices, a few years back one could easily eat for 3-3,5. Today it's closer to 5,5-6 euros. Poor but sexy Berlin is sadly over. As somebody who lives here for 10 years already, it's interesting to see how the city transforms although the quality doesn't always follow the price raise.

Moved from London to Berlin last summer and yes - halved our living expenses overnight. Berlin is definitely getting more expensive but so is London. Our rent increase last summer in our SE LDN flat basically forced us to leave the city. I love living in Berlin, especially as a young professional, affordability is a huge part of our happiness here these days. But all that to say that I still miss the sheer beauty and diversity of London regularly. If I’d be rich I’d move back in a heartbeat 😂

Besides the beautiful architecture and all that history, I found the food and coffee terrible, the people rude and of course the weather was horrid. Coming from Australia it all seemed so grey. The culture was very similar to my own in a lot of ways except the class structure was so noticeable it really irritated me coming from a more egalitarian society. I went on to explore more of Europe but Paris stole my heart at first sight.

Renting is awful owning is better if you can. Flatmates don't work only for students I think do your research if you have to rent. Housing is a human right no matter your income I agree :) and should be supported and a move back to on the street retail shopping too. History in LDN is amazing as is the sheer amount of culture as well. I was sad to see folks sleeping rough broke my heart and still does.

People back home always ask me what is England like? what are British people like? but I honestly feel I'm not able to answer that question because living in London I am not heavily exposed to purely British people/culture. I only feel I get a real taste of proper British culture when I travel around the UK. Living in London feels like living in the world, that's why I never felt like an outsider, because you get this feeling like we are all unique, we are all our own thing, and that is what makes us Londoners.

Bu there's a questionam that's been on my mind for years: I think it's not the problem that people have ferraris (bad taste happens), but that there are people that cannot dream of a decent way of living. Is it an utopian thought end poverty instead of wealth?

Lived there for 6 years! Best city ever... but ridiculously expensive 😅

Too crowded and noisy, yet the best city I know for Arts.

I know you and David are from Sweden, and you both were nomads for a while. So since England is now your home, do you and David have permanent residency status and becoming citizens? I know you have not shared this information before, but it might shine a light on others who might want to relocate to England.

hi jenny, greetings from berlin. unfortunately I have to confirm that the rents have gone through the roof. when I moved here with my mother 18 years ago we rented a 80 m² apartment close to prenzlauer berg for around 500-600 €. now you would easily pay more than double. the trick is to never move out if you can. well.. I had to obviously. finding a place is almost impossible, but living here long enough I had a friend, who has a boyfriend, who has a sister that is about to move out... the only way to find a payable place. i wanted to ask you- are there any videos where you talk about your time in Berlin? I would love to know your take on it :) and in which Bezirk did you live ?

In some parts of Prenzlauer Berg and surroundings you would now pay €2000 for that apartment. Considering that many people in Berlin don't even earn €2000/month after taxes, it is truly a dire situation.

I think finding an 80m2 apartment in Prenzlauerberg for 1000-1200 would be a deal now. Almost impossible if you are not well connected and not taking over after your friends. This kind of apartment would cost at least 1600-1800e but more likely close to 2000.
