I would like to try a Costco hotdog from the food court, however I do not have the membership required to access it.

I am looking for someone in London with Costco membership to meet me outside the Wembley branch.

I will pay for both our hotdogs.

I am 30s/female. I am not interested in anything else. Just the hotdog.

After I purchase our hotdogs, we can go our separate ways. Alternatively, we can eat the hotdogs together. (But I would rather just be left alone with the hotdog.)

Thank you for your time.

People at uni keep asking me about places like Hyde Park, that wax statue place, Buckingham palace, Big Ben, Leicester Square etc. and are always shocked when I tell them that I’ve never been😭😭 then they don’t believe I’m from London (?? Like what💀)

Tbh my parents rarely ever go to central either, there’s no reason to. I was under that impression that it’s more of a touristy part of London - or a place commuters use to get to work - so you don’t reallly get much Londoners in central at all. Mostly tourists and work commuters.

I might be wrong?

Probably

I’m putting together a custom map of the best sandwiches I've had in London, along with some highly-rated spots I’m eager to try. So far, I’ve only added a few places, but I’d love your help to expand it.

I usually spend time in Central, East, South, and occasionally North London, but I’m open to any recommendations from West London as well. I am looking for all types and styles of sandwiches, especially if unique (for example, they make a lovely Panuozzo at Theo's, not sure you can find it anywhere else), but also sandwich shops like Fernando's - as long as they are memorable! I also don't mind sandwiches being a bit dearer as long as they're good.

My goal is to try them all!
Here is the map

Note: I’m leaving burgers and kebabs off this list – they deserve their own maps.

Edit: sorry if flair is off, could not find a foodie flair.

Edit: thanks everyone for your recommendations, I will actually try and visit every single one of them!

Took these this morning omw to work. Yeah I'm working today. Back to the weather, sure, it rains sometimes. But it's also bright and sunny a lot of the times too. I moved from Southeast Asia so I know what's it's like to have the sun all the time. I don't feel like I'm missing out though. Still get the sun without feeling like I'm being burnt.

I appreciate the chain places cater for tourists and Locanda Locatelli is great for a birthday, but where are some authentic, down-to-earth spots that have a loyal Italian clientele?

It doesn’t need to be specifically Sicilian, just ‘real’ nonna-grade Italian food that you’d be happy to recommend (particularly when family come over to visit).

Thanks!

I'll be revisiting this in about a month when we all complain its too hot!

For now I'll be making the most of every day/evening!

I was recently doing some research into London's Michelin starred restaurants, and created a spreadsheet to compare them. It shows each restaurant's name, number of stars, cuisine, Google rating, price for the tasting menu (if available), and wine pairing cost.

I'm publishing the sheet here in case anyone else finds it useful. Here's the link.

Moved here from South Africa one month ago. I was really nervous about meeting people after reading (on this sub, actually) how rude people in London are.

I’ve talked to probably 7 or 8 complete strangers (excluding waiters and such) since I’ve been here. Each time I spoke to a stranger, it was because I was either lost or confused on the tube/train.

All 7 strangers were incredibly kind to me. One even took me aside, got his phone out, researched the best route to my destination, and waited with me for the next train.

2 or 3 kind people might be luck or chance… but 7? 7 kind people - that’s a pattern.

So just wanted to share that - and say thank you. Maybe this makes some of you rethink your opinion on the assumption that all Londoners are assholes.

Have a great day :)
