100 Things I Love about London

21 Jan

Well, this is something new. Charlotte has begun a new series, called 100 Things I Love about England, and it’s inspired me to start this, although mine will be centred on London. My hometown. The city that I know and love. Admittedly, there are some things I don’t like about London, but the same goes for most places, and the good things far outweigh the bad. So…here we go. Something to add to 10 Things I Love, and Sunday Night Inspiration. Sometimes I might be able to think of many things, and other times I might only be able to think of a few things, so each post might vary in length, but the idea is that by the end of it, I’ll have a list of 100 (wow!) things I love about London… Let’s see how long this takes me to complete… Without further ado…

100 Things I Love about London

    I will be keeping an eye on these London posts.
    I lived there for over 3 years while at uni and these pictures are making me very homesick (but in a good way!).
    Like Jessica I would love to do my own list about where I am currently located, but it might be a little tougher for me to reach 100.

      Ah! London is mighty good :) which uni did you go to? (if you don’t mind me asking!)

      That would be good; and if you struggle to reach 100, then it’ll just make you look harder, and you might uncover some gems :) after all, you’re good at doing that in the shop!

        I went to Roehampton Uni, in the South West around Putney and Kingston way, do you know that area at all?
        That is a very good point you know, might make me appreciate Middlesbrough a little more. I think I might now that you’ve said that!

      • Sarah January 22, 2012 at 11:53 pm #

        Ooo, I know of the uni, but not so much the area. I’m more North London :) and I love it in Camden, Covent Garden, Carnaby Street…most of Central I like, but not when it’s crammed with tourists! Looking forward to Hyde Park trips in the spring…

        Ah, you definitely should! Even I think I might start to struggle when it gets close to 100…I can think of things off the top of my head at the moment, but I might have to do some exploring towards the end :)

      Haha, it’s okay! I sometimes leave a little time before I visit some blogs, so that I have lots of reading to do with a cup of tea :D really must add to this soon though… xxx
