As the capital of an exceptionally drink-driven culture (generalising a bit here, but let’s not be in denial), it’s not surprising that boozing in the Big Smoke is summin’ else. But there is more than just a significant increase in the number of watering holes available…drinking in London is in a whole different ball park, and here’s why!
1. It will cost you your limbs in ways like nowhere else.
2. One drink will cost you an arm and a leg.
3. While a round will cost all four. And some.
5. While staying for one more with a Tinder date will undoubtedly result in a bit of ‘armless fun…
7. But only staying for one, will.
9. Meaning you have to fit a lot more into a shorter space of time.
10. Because a taxi home anywhere else would cost the same as a bag of crisps in London.
12. Meaning that there is always, ALWAYS the possibility of a 4am-er.
13. On a Monday.
14. Giving even the initial glass a wine the sweet taste of possibility and potential.
16. Even if you then have to queue for another hour to get in.
17. Because these things matter.
19. And yet you’ll never feel safer because it’s likely that everyone else is pissed too. Because, London.
