Hello Londoner, welcome to my secret city!

As many other people here, I'm not a Londoner by birth but rather by choice.
My first couple of years in the capital were super exciting, grabbing my camera every weekend and going on solo adventures around the City, visiting new neighbourhoods, trying new foods and getting used to my new life.
Then reality hit me.
The more I advanced in my career, the more stressful the job would become; I started hating the commute, the tube, the millions of people. I didn't feel much energy to meet friends after work or to spend weekends in Central London. Meeting people in such a big city is difficult, especially when your friends live miles away. It's so easy to feel lonely, trapped in an overpriced room and living with strangers.
Does my experience sound familiar?
That's why I created my secret city, to bring back that sparkle of love at first sight with this city.
We live in the capital of Europe, we cannot allow ourselves to be bored!
Sure, some weekends are nice to be spent resting, curled up on the sofa watching Netflix and eating Ben & Jerry's. But on the others, we need to live. We need to remember that we chose to live here for a reason.
But enough about me, I want to hear about YOU.
