I’ve been in London since 2007. I toy with leaving a lot. Then I go to other places in the UK and other places in the world and I think nope. London is home. The rest can’t compete x
this piece is so beautiful. as someone who has spent practically my whole life only dreaming of London, you've ignited a fire in me to quit procrastinating and get myself out there. i was scared of going there and having it not live up to the expectations i have built it up to be. thank you for telling me otherwise.
Gigi, you would love it! I implore you to go try it out - message me if you need any recommendations or help! Also I just read through your Substack and love your pieces - especially the bridesmaid one 🩷
This is one of the best Liebeserklärung (sorry have to switch to the other Germanic language as English is a bit inadequate there) to this amazing city on the Thames. Thank you.
If I may add, the Bacon and Moore room at the Britain is also wow
New subscriber and already so enamoured by your writing through this piece – London is all this and more. Such a special place, yet often difficult to hold in your hand and examine in this way. Beautiful words xx
I laughed and cried reading this. I felt like you wrote everything I have gone through and felt the past 3 years. I moved to London after uni and it was my driest big city I lived in. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful piece. You are an amazing writer and I am excited to read more. Stay on that plus, it takes courage but life is about being uncomfortable. Xxx nikky
thank you so much Nikky 🩷🩷 london is such a distinctive time in life and I really felt like I had to say goodbye proper and in the only way I knew I could. sending you all my love xx
Leaving London, I love this piece, it perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling of leaving a city rich in memories and friendships for the endless energy and unknownness of New York. Closing chapters and beginning new ones.
this was GORGEOUS writing
Thank you Bella 🩷

London is the jewel of the UK imo - at least city wise. I miss it 😢
