I know right, can't walk for 5min without being in buckets of sweat.

Briefly this morning when I woke up my feet were cool. Oh happy memories.

It was raining for about 15 minutes earlier. That was nice.

Thanks for setting this up! I tend to hang out in the Kingston / Wimbledon corner of the metropolis. Nice to see some Lemmyverse action for Londoners :-)

Thank you for setting this up!

Maybe this group can succeed where r/london failed... in explaining why Leicester Square.

[–] tkc 2 points 2 years ago

Nice one setting this up. Keep it up 🤘

[–] Granary 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why what happened to Leicester Square?

[–] TheNumberOfGeese 3 points 2 years ago

Not so much what but why. It makes no sense!

Thanks for setting this up, Peckham resident here was tempted to set this up at the start but I knew someone else would haha!

[–] Vinnyboiler 3 points 2 years ago

I should be thanking you for setting up this instance! It's nice to have a corner of Lemmy for the UK and I hope to do my part in helping to grow this community.

Woolwich here, not too far afield.

Whoever made the art for the sidebar, I love it.

[–] Vinnyboiler 2 points 2 years ago

Thank You, It was originally made as the icon for the community but I realized it was a bit hard to see when small so I went with a Tower Bridge silhouette instead.

Hi, I'll be in the UK only for an internship but I hope I am still welcome here haha! Really looking forward to seeing what life on the islands is like.

Edit: forgot to add.. I'll be in the Bethnal Green/Cambridge heath area... I'm a bit nervous but also excited about the move :D

[–] Vinnyboiler 2 points 2 years ago

Everyone is welcome in London. Doesn't matter if you are visiting, staying for a short stint or living here. There's a lot to do in London, you are sure to come of it with some great memories!

Well done for setting this up, ex Actonian now living in the heights of Wycombe signing in.
