Done with London
Jump to: Newest in thread
Whilst on my travels recently, I met a spiritual guru type. While I don't believe in that drivel, he said I didn't belong where I currently live. He's right.
Nothing ties me to London and I've had some wonderful times but it makes me miserable.
Thing is, where do I go? If money were no object, it'd be somewhere far flung and warm. But it is. So I'm stuck on these Isles for now.
I like the sea, I like sex, I like kink, I like alternative. Where's good?

I moved to Hertfordshire when I realised my love of London was waning. London is 20 minutes away. I have solitude in countryside when I need it.
Personally I realised that another city would just replicate all London's issues while bring a poor imitation of the place |

That's the rub. I love London for all it has but it's starting to grind me down living here. I need the sea! |

Oops, sorry, not sure how I missed the 3 or 4 posters who already mentioned Brighton  |

"I love London...
You can get fish & chips, fried chicken, kebab & pizza from the same shop!
Wow London has it all!
It does but for all it's charms. It's a bloody lonely place  "
Every northerner will confirm it is crap. |

I jest of course...
If you know what your into then finding people who enjoy the same things really isn't that difficult anywhere, let alone one of the most populated places in the country...join a likeminded group get out there so to speak, you'll find plenty who like similar things |

West Wales and Cardiff |
"Cardiff  "
I like Bristol.
I agree that smaller cities have the same problems, but what I've always loved about a place like Cardiff is there's good "city stuff" like world class opera, but I can have my boots on and be walking up a mountain in the Beacons or a lovely beach in an hour.
Smaller cities are very "get-outtable". |

Essex cos it's the driest county in the country, still love going back in the summer, but avoid the new towns...
For the swinging lifestyle though it's the West Midlands, easily accessible to any part of the country and lots of rural tranquillity extremely close to a major city that has all the London opportunity without the price tag...

Enjoy visiting london, but i wouldnt want to live there again. I like Glasgow, always find the weegies friendly, Its got good theatres/west end shows, seems to be a good contemporary arts scene, gets major bands etc. The sea is close by, Helensborough, Loch Lomond are nice, must be plenty of fellow erm "enthusiasts" knocking aboot!  |

I spent 3 days in Brighton in November a few years back and loved it.
Rye is lovely and not far from Hastings.
Of course, I don't know how friendly people are there, but if you lived in a smallish village you would probably get to know people. |

Well Brighton is only about an hour from London on the train. Also, there are plenty of smaller communities within the town itself with plenty of ofther within 10 miles. It's a pretty cosmopolitan place. There's a drag scene too. |

I tried to get my husband into a gay bar, but he was having none of it. It was alive with music and laughter. |

I love visiting London but wouldn't live there. I'm originally from Suffolk and my god I really miss the sea!! Love going back but I couldn't live there either. Too many oldies.
How exciting for you |

Essex..
For all its faults and bad reputation, it's got some really nice areas, it also has the longest coastline of any county in the UK.
And what's even better, your an hour away from London in most places..
What's concerning me is how you can be tired of London? |

London is without doubt one of the world's greatest cities and I don't subscribe with any view to the contrary despite it being almost a national pastime to knock ourselves.
But I'm a country boy from a rural background so I could never live there again despite loving to visit.
Wherever you end up I hope you find happiness OP, life's too short to not be properly content so follow your dreams as much as you are reasonably able to  |

You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford. ~ Samuel Johnson

Whitstable, beautiful seaside and harbour, lots of little shops a and pubs, plus 3 clubs within an hour's drive. Good train links to London. Good luck with your decision x |

Just got back from there! Would be ideal but not possible.
Maybe I need a slave who lives by the sea with a spare room I can pop to as and when I felt like it. Now that'd be perfect |

I did it gradually, From Brixton to the sub's then London/Essex border a couple more moves & we have ended up in nowheresville between the Rivers Crouch & Blackwater and 10mins from the deserted coastline.
Only thing I miss is being able to hop on the tube and be up town in 10 mins, now its an event requiring a hotel if drinking late.
