I lived studied and worked in London in the 1980s. I still get a 'fun' feeling when I go back. Property and rent is overpriced, but I'd love to be there again. I still rate it as the best city in the world

🤣

Yeah you can tell it's'fun' by the jovial nature of the people on public transport all chatting away about the fun they are having. It's a non stop carnival people.

It's a bit stabby.

Black people used to make it fun, now they actively make it shit for everyone, themselves included. Middle easterners too

Tough noogies. Next :

London was never a fun place to work.

london Is still amazing as thousand of people want to live there however many of them can t .. China is waiting

Some of them are going to have a funny work in China . amid wet market virus and regime enjoy happy Chinese work

Best city in the world, great parks,river,restaurants,bars,theatres,museums,art gallerries,gig venues,sports stadium-will bounce back post Covid

It’s ok if you’re a young 20 something dating and hunting out the new gentrified dump to hang out in. After that period in your life it become a 90 minute commute on a standing room only train costing £5k a year. I’ll socialise and spend locally now.

Shouldn’t have fucked with the economy then! Plandemic Agenda21 ID2020 Operationlockstep Quantumtattoo

It has turned into a cesspit of violence with Marxist’s now intent on taking over. People are leaving in their droves.

It lost it many, many years ago.

Too much crime... Hardly an advert to visit.

Pandemics aren't supposed to be 'fun'

When was it ever a 'fun' place to work unless that work was financial dodgy dealing in The City? Total bollocks

Fun place to work? Christ, it lost that a long time ago

Where people can barely afford to live in a broom cupboard you mean? 🤔 I think your journo is a bit late to the races on this one. My image of working in London is the complete opposite of fun. Bunch of miserable bastards in my experience.

I've visited London twice last year (both for museum exhibitions). Nothing fun about London at all.

Not shit sherlock..now that's real investigating journalism 🤣😂🤣😂🤪

haha fuck off london is a shithole full of twats

That happened in 2016

I think London might have lost its 'fun' place to work aura sometime between the Great Fire and the Queen birthing Prince Andrew.

Worked there for 10 years and it was never fun

London is calling now longshit

Occasionally I'd get a 19:00 train from Liverpool St. Station full to the gills of folk who looked like they'd spent a day having anything but fun.

Was London ever a “fun” place to work? It’s noisy, polluted, crowded, dirty, smelly, costly, has highest crime rates in the UK. The only good thing about working there, as far as I can see, is that - compared with the most deprived regions - the prosperity level is astonishing.

Missing people in buildings too? Have tried looking for Undyed Africans/Indians?

lmao

TRUE ,IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE TO LIVE IN LONDON, AS THE CITIZENS PREFER TO MOVE TO OTHER COUNTRIES,WHERE THE LIFE IS EASY FOR e.g AUSTRALIA,CANADA ETC.

I work in London. I can confirm that working in London is utter shit! X

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!! NO PLACE LIKE LONDON!!!!!!

Understatement of the year

London has become an overcrowded sh*thole, just like so many other major cities. Get out of the cities people. They aren’t safe anymore.

That'll be why everyone laughs so much on the Tube then.

Since when has London been a fun place to work? It can be a fun place to live, sometimes. If I don't have work.

🤣😂😆 Ah ok. Fun place to work? You mean London, the place where everyone is miserable. You risk being stabbed or bombed every day. You pay £6 a pint and £2k a month for a bedsit. Think that ship sailed a long time ago.

There is NO 'fun' place to work right now. With Hong Kong going down the drain. London should not fret. It will take over great part of HK business.

From the latest pictures and videos London has become a 💩hole.

That ship has sailed, and it's nothing to do with Covid-19.

What? That shit hole on the Thames full of knobs

It sure has lost its aura of a fun place to go. How sad!

Lmao! Really? Every time I ever used the London tube (subway), all I saw were absolutely miserable looking people, in suits.

Oh, man... you mean I might have to shutter my lifelong dream of fun working in London? Enough already.

Buckle up boys ...you're in for a long bumpy ride.....

English countryside is much better and nicer than London❤️

Hahahaha, it lost the fun place to work aura long ago, even before the stabbing pandemic!
