I go there every 2 yrs for memories, but the accomodation costs is killing. Food is affordable. Transport costs can be cut down by walking a lot.. looking forward to you interviewing random people on how they survive by part time jobs . is there such jobs for temps.. Tq. Love your short vid😊

    My question to all of this is simple…. If one of disabled or in a wheelchair, as myself…. Is living in London vs. u.s.a. worth the work to do so. I’ve always wanted to live there. Clearly, after my accident, that has out a damper on many of things. Including going to places I’d like to travel or live. To anybody who lives with and works through a disability and resides in the u.k. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for any tips pr pointers.

      @@stephaniedavinson6762 How come "pushed out"? Sounds a bit conservative to my ears. While these sort of views are pretty common all around the world, isn't England and especially London pretty much a melting pot for all cultures possible?
      P.S. : Had to look up some data about the subject, it looks as if Christianity is simply on a lowering trend for the last twenty or so years. Not necessarily only a multicultural effect there (as comparing the results of this survey didn't show anything that significant regarding non-Christian religions between 2011 and 2021).

This City loves me as much as I love this City. I never felt stronger relationship between me and London to anyone or anything in my whole life and I've been in so many countries.
