What do you love about London?

No matter how long you’ve lived here, there is always a new place to discover, or something new to try, with people of all backgrounds and identities contributing to the city’s rich cultural scene.

What would you change about London if you could?

I would make public transport more accessible (and tolerable), particularly for outer London boroughs. I would also improve community-building initiatives to encourage new connections between Londoners who would otherwise probably never interact.
