It's still a nice city with lots of stuff to do, but after 6 years I can also share some of the feelings around here. I'm well beyond tired of certain aspects of it as well.
I don't blame people who choose to buy a place to live outside London (I definitely can't fault those who choose to do it in the country side).
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
Plus the Oyster Visitor differs from the normal as in the fares are lower and so is the daily cap. Will keep trying, 3 credit cards already and all the same generic error.
This time I'm traveling alone, so will have a diferent program. No Harry Potters Some pubs. Maybe the free Jack the Ripper tour or or something.
Contactless bank card is a no-go for me, even if I ask for a new card to get contactless the international fee-per-operation is too much on my bank.
Hi Metale.
get yourself over to East London, Old St station. Then have a walk around Shoreditch - there are some great streets, bars, cafes etc to look round, and some independent shops. From there you can walk to Whitechapel (Jack RIpper area), then down to St Katherine Docks (lovely), from there you can see Tower Bridge and the Tower of London (awesome). Then walk back into the city, through the City of London (financial district), which has some absolutely amazing buildings.
Pubs - Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, on Fleet St. Best pub in London IMO. Charles Dickens was a regular. Cheap beer, great food, amazing atmosphere.
From there you can also walk to the Old Mitre, which is a hidden pub, and its one of the oldest in London. Near Chancery Lane, in a little courtyard in the middle of a row of Georgian houses. Great little place. Google it.
I love walking around London, so much to see. And the tube is pretty rank tbh, busy and hot. Much better than it was 20 years ago though, for sure.
Yep, Oyster is fine to Sutton.

Getting pretty stoked already.
Bus would be nice, but would take a learning curve to understand it while I have the tube thing all figured out
Anyone in Ealing or central London want to join for a beer?
Regarding tourists in London, if you have an iPhone, download the app Citimapper. It will sort out the buses and everything else for you.
Grass is always greener etc.
