Gone are the days of “bangers and mash” being the only option. London’s food scene is a global mash-up. You can get a perfect croissant from a French patisserie, a fiery curry from Brick Lane, and a Korean fried chicken burger—all before lunchtime.
And don’t sleep on the markets. Borough Market is a religion. People plan their weekends around a good cheese toastie and a cup of mulled cider. It’s impossible to be unhappy there. Try it. I dare you.

Public Transport (Yes, Really)
Okay, the Tube is sweaty and sometimes smells like a forgotten gym bag. But it gets you everywhere. You can be in central London in twenty minutes from almost anywhere in Zone 2. Try that in Los Angeles—you’ll still be in traffic next Tuesday.
The buses are also iconic. Sitting on the top deck of a red double-decker, watching the city blur past—that’s a movie scene. And you’re the star. Just don’t forget to tap your contactless. That’s a rookie mistake.
