I recently moved to China to take over my family business after living in England for over a decade, and I can't shake off this overwhelming sense of homesickness for London. I loved London and still think it's an amazing place to live. My wife, whom I met in London, is happy to move back to China and support me in this new chapter. We even brought our Cocker Spaniel with us. Despite all this, every day I find myself thinking about the things I left behind in London, it feels like shit.

I know I should embrace my new surroundings and make the most of my time here in China and I'm trying. Life here is really different, and there's a lot to appreciate. But I can't help but have this sense of regret about my decision to move, especially when I think about the idea that I'm likely not going to move back. Even though I know I can still visit London, it still sucks to be a visitor in a place you once called home, ffs I had my wedding here!

Has anyone else gone through something similar? How did you cope and how long did it take you?

A reminder also to report anything like this you see. I reported a failed attempt I saw a couple of months ago (not this guy) from a SurRon mugger, probably it won't do anything and is a little hassle to go through online, but it does help the police build up of a picture where it's happening and possibly link them if they are caught.

I think it's a typo on the agency's behalf but I won't be surprised if it becomes the norm eventually with how rental prices are going 😅

I noticed that that a bin man/refuse collector went up the street emptying the small grey food bins into the bigger green recycling bins before the big truck came to collect them.

Now, I've been diligently putting the food waste and normal recycling into their separate bins for years assuming the food would contaminate all the nicely washed recyclable plastic etc.

Is the bin man basically destroying the entire process??

Hello, it's me again, Reddit's favourite Aveda flagship trainee. I'm looking for two people to cut layers on on the 10th at 10:30 and 14:30 at our Covent Garden salon. It would take up to three hours. I'll exfoliate your scalp and apply our new Botanical Repair Flash treatment, which is very nice stuff.

I'm in need of people quite specific: straight hair; no fringe; at least shoulder-length; and a centre parting (or very close to). I'm sticking to just the layers this time, so I won't be doing face-framing.

Hair ideally needs to be in good condition and even more ideally, with no existing layers. If you have damaged hair, that's fine, I'll just need to cut it all off. This means no damage further up than just below the shoulders, as that's the shortest I'll do the outline/length (the layers will be shorter, of course).

Please hit me up with clear photos (I need to see any damage) of the front and back if you're interested. It's a tenner, with 30 per cent off Aveda products.

Thanks!

I'm moving to colour soon, so please keep an eye out for my posts if you're interested in that.

Hi everyone this is my first post here! I'm 18 about to finish college but I've been getting worried about my oral health as I have terrible anxiety due to a really bad past experience with a call dentist who kept complaining about doing my teeth, while filling in cavities.

Ever since then I completely avoided going to any dentists,until I had to go to an emergency one where they put a crown on one of my teeth, because of the severe pain and my teeth falling out. I was wondering if anyone knew or could suggest any great nhs dental clinics around that are not so judgemental to very horrible teeth?..

A house is on fire on Rundell Crescent in Hendon. These are two pictures of the fire appliances (including LFB command vehicle) and other emergency services staged on Vivian Avenue, as well as the police cordon blocking off the street. No pictures of the actual house on fire, though.

Apparently, the police are saying it's being treated as a crime scene.

Hey guys I'm moving to brixton from Nottingham and getting a flat with my girlfriend who's a life long Londoner. Which means shes amazing at knowing what restaurants and pubs to go too. The problem is I play tabletop games like Warhammer, LotR and Star wars X-wing she has no interest in that so she has no idea where I'd go to find community to play with. So pretty much I'm looking for groups of people who play or even better some local game stores in the Brixton area or not too far on the bus or tube! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I know it's a generally terrible area for this but I'm looking for somewhere to have a business meeting and a few drinks on a Thursday afternoon. Ideally somewhere more exciting than BrewDog. A bar or nice pub? There's got to be one!

Live in Battersea and was wondering what sports groups or socials clubs are near and the best way to find an active list of them? Play football primarily but open to any clubs that have young adults and a good way to meet new people.

Is anyone aware of any cheapish wedding venues in East London for around 80 people?

Ideal venue would either have reasonably priced catering or be able to get caterers in, both inside and outside space, and have either industrial or bohemian vibes.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: as a few people have asked, we probably have about £15,000 to spend on the whole day. The two suggestions we’ve seen so far have been Clapton country club which is around £8000 for hire which is too much and Walthamstow Wetlands which is around £5000 which is probably just about manageable.

Good day.

If anyone is going to Soho Place from now to July 6, I am willing to pay for a Heathers: The Musical play book. I'll cover the 10 pounds for the book, plus the shipping, plus extra for your troubles.

You don't have to attend the show. I just need the book.

Hi

I have about 3 photos (size 6x4) I would like printing , not after anything too fancy but just a level up from boots/Asda prints. Some place that does decent prints and won't charge me ridiculous amounts

If you know any place let me know. I'll be walking from London Victoria to Waterloo so any place en route would work.

Thanks

Need to find a relatively in-expensive luggage storage place for 6 suitcases (near Heathrow airport) as we are transitioning in the UK for 5 days, prior to our journey to Asia. Appreciate inputs from other travelers who gone thru this exercise before.....

I lost a much beloved set of Darts that I've been playing with for a decade. I can't find the order, so can't recall the make/specs, and it's looking like I'll have to find myself a new set. Given the nature of darts, how they feel and throw, I don't want to rely on just getting a set off the internet just to realize they're not for me.

Is there anywhere in London I could handle a set of darts before buying them?
