I have a real love hate relationship with this place. Only 10 years ago the whole of London was a goldmine. I would get laid every single time I went out. (Now... maybe once a month after a few dates with a 7)
You could take a walk around the east end of London and just walk into some random warehouse party filled with models, actresses, musicians, artists and a lot of shoreditch twats. Crazy drug, alcohol fuelled sex pretty much went down every single time I went out. I was living the dream and I didn't even know it! This was at the height of the British music scene and the rundown areas of Islington and Shoreditch were up and coming with an influx of creative types moving there from all over the world.
Fast forward 15 years and it's all over. THe quality of Eastern europe and Scandinavia have all gone and you are just left with hordes of Spanish and Italians and a huge Australian contingency.
I hate the fact that London has gone to shit because the quality of life is excellent if you know what you are doing. I look back on the glory days and I can't believe I have ended up spending more time in industrial shitholes where I can't speak the Language than I do in my home town.
