That 90 year old man seemed more clear headed than most 60 year olds haha

[dmdm]

Wow there's no way the 90 year old gentleman looks that old! More like in his 60's. Well done to him!

[kc]

Bro that 90 year old man looks GREAT for his age!

[Little_Sidhe]

I can't believe he found an indigenous Londoner, keep that man safe at all costs.

[princepeterwolf]

I'd love to watch a whole video with the 90 year old talking about his life, he had such a wonderful calming voice

[driversseat]

Wow! The 90 year old man looks great and loves his city.

[felixraphael]

As a Londoner born and bred I love the culture, history, architecture and food but I hate the sheer expense of living here aswell as how busy and urban it can get

[krishnaprassad]

Really loved the 90 year old gentleman's assessment...very energetic and encouraging

The girl at 7:50 has such a beautiful voice, it just melts you. It so soothing, I could listen to her talk for hours.

Also the 90 year old dude is such an inspiration, he's keeping up with the world and being positive.

If you have money, London is one of the most vibrant cities to visit in the world. The amount of things to do, eat, drink, visit are intoxicating. If you have no money, you feel lost, alone, unsupported, forgotten through the cosmopolitan, wealthy, and fast haze.

That 90 year old man who mentioned that quote about “If you are tired of London, you are tired of Life”, that quote was from Samuel Johnson, the author of the first dictionary.

I ran into some Canadian tourists here in Jakarta, I'm American. I can't help to notice how kind and open they are. It's so easy to keep a conversation with them. With fellow ameircans, a bit more introverted and afraid to talk to one other. Good vibes from Canadians.

London is great if you live in a nice area and have plenty of disposable income. For most people, the reality is a house share in your 30s and just about enough money for bare essentials. You end up staying local and not going to museums or doing other social/cultural things.

I first came to London in 1969 as a student and fell in love with this city. I thought I had landed on another planet and enjoyed every minute of my stay. Many times over the years, I came back for short visits of one or two weeks. In 2020 my daughter was transferred to London so I am now coming regularly to see her and my grandsons. Over time, London has naturally changed but has also lost some of its charms. I can say that the traffic isn't worse than in some other European cities. Living in a European country with one of the highest costs of living, what shocked me was the outrageous property prices considering the current state of the UK economy and the state of the London tube. I try to avoid it when I can. However, I still love this city.

I was born in London and still live in London, I absolutely love and adore this city

I’ve been living in London for over 20 years. I still love it but for very different reasons than back in the days. South of the river used to be so raw and full of life, but now places like Peckham, Southwark, Brixton and Camden are so gentrified and commercialised they’ve lost their original appeal. You can still have a great time strolling around, but it’s very costly to just have a coffee or brunch out! That’s why the locals all have their fav hidden gem secrets that they won’t share with anyone in case it appears on a travel blog and the spark will be lost forever!

I have just been to London on a holiday, and I love everything about the city! The noises, the atmosphere, the people, who come in many shapes and sizes, the old, quirky buildings, not to forget the abandoned ones, the small shops, the markets, the things you can buy, the planes flying over your head, the chocolate (I love chocolate), the restaurants, the tube, the hotels, the parks, the long walks I take on the dark evenings, just to soak up the ambience, the sounds, the sights and the not so clean air...

I’m from Toronto too and been here for over 25 years and love it! I do miss Toronto at times but London is home now!
