What I love about London

Living diversity

 it is nice to meet people from all around the world in one club, one bar one park. I loved to hear Chinese, Spanish, Wolof and every kind of language mixing on a bus on my way to centre or back home. You can feel the diversity of cultures everywhere, this is what makes London beautiful and interesting for me. 

Enjoying (night) life

oh yeah, I've never known what that really means before I moved to London! Crazy nights out in clubs around Leicester square, clubbing in my favorite lil Caffe Loco or in Village in Muswell Hill.. I loved it all, definitely time I will never forget! Met some good friends some weird people, but everything counts and I don't regret anything.

Different part different taste


you take a walk in calm and peaceful Crouch End, chat with people from neighborhood, enjoy your coffee in a lovely cafe with a view on a park.. and than you walk 5 mins to the west and you feel like in different country (in Turkey!). Meat is hanging on the street and you can smell it everywhere, cheep food and Turkish restaurants, shisha bars with nice colorful sofas in front of store welcome you and you. But wait, another 5 mins and you are in Wood Green, full of whips where you can spend all day long! Just don't go there in the night because it might get lil bit rough and I don't even talk about the next part of London which is lil bit further to the East. Every part smells different and people are from everywhere (just not from UK). But there is also another type of weird place in London: Canary Wharf. Beautiful and modern place, that will blow your mind. Best view if from  DLR train in the night, when you can see all those lights, docks and of course the tallest building in UK. It is beautiful in a day time. What is interesting there: most of people work in banks there, it means that in working days about 85% of people you meet wearing official clothes. Black and white. When they finish bars and restaurants r overclouded with people in suits so when you wear something colorful you might feel like lil weirdo in among all those business people. And than at the weekend.. it is like different place, calm, quiet and peaceful , but wait for another Monday morning!

See and taste something new every day

one day you go to the festival in South, close to Elephant Castle, than the next day you hear about big Desigual kissing party close to Tower Bridge where you even get a T-shirt for free! Sure you should go there and see what it is like! Than you must see musical Hair, Chicago, Billy Elliot and many many more, it is awesome! And did you know most of museums are for free? And some of them are so huge that you are not able to walk it through in one day. Do you know how many museums are in London? Lot.
Than you have Notting Hill Carnival in the end of August which I love, good music and dancing on the streets of Notting Hill, nice! arty on a boat on Thames?
