LONDON, U OK BABES? — Tea, Trauma & Trench Coats

She’s moody. She’s iconic. She’s the love of my life and also the reason I romanticize emotional unavailability.

#london isn’t just a city — she’s a personality.
She taught me how to walk fast, love hard, and pretend £6 coffee is fine because “it’s artisan.”
I grew up with skyline views and existentialism on the tube.

I speak fluent sarcasm, understand the importance of a pub pint after 5pm, and know better than to trust the weather forecast.

Every borough? A new persona.
• Shoreditch said: ‘ditch your ex and start an art collective.’
• Notting Hill said: fall in love but make it cinematic.
• Camden said: you are the grunge girlfriend now.
• South Bank said: cry in public, no one cares, it’s poetic.
• And Mayfair said: rent is imaginary and so is your financial stability, but you look rich and that’s what matters.

And don’t even get me started on those grey skies that make you feel like the main character in a rainy indie film where nothing happens but everything changes.
