12 Types Of People You’ll Run Into When In London
In the hustle and bustle of this over-crowded city, you’re never too far away from another person. No matter how endearing or annoying, here are 12 Types Of People You’ll Run Into When In London.
1. The Jogger
In general, you can find, on average, 20-50 joggers in London on a daily basis. Health is wealth after all, just watch out for collisions on your lunch break.
2. The Hipster
Shoreditch, Camden, you name it. That girl with an ear stretcher and full sleeve of tattoos? You know you have arrived in one of the most up and coming areas of London.
3. The Stressed Out Student
Clutching books and headed to Starbucks, you have found yourself a student within days of a looming deadline. A common sight in this capital city, but we’re all in this together.
4. The Business Man
Canary wharf hosts some of the biggest names in the stock market. Don’t get caught in rush hour on the Jubilee line if you can help it. Crush loaded amongst tailored suits is no-ones idea of fun.

Everyone in London has or has had one. It’s almost a rite of passage. That guy that creeps in and out of the building at odd hours? I’m talking about him.

OK, this kind of applies to everyone in London. We all stare into the depths of our screens on public transport, just to avoid the awkwardness of staring at strangers.

Spot them in Stratford or at the Southbank skate park. Not the type of person you would regularly encounter, but worth an honourable mention nonetheless. Their skill is definitely something to be admired.
8. The Street Fundraiser
Possibly the most annoying person to run into in London. At every corner, your path will be blocked by endless charity promotions. I live in London, do you think I have time or money to spare?

Coffee is quickly becoming the drink of choice in London, one under the famous English breakfast tea. Every Londoner has had to learn the difference between their Americano’s, Latte’s, Flat White’s and Macchiato’s at some stage.
10. The Dog-Walker
British people love dogs. In London, expect to see you favourite pets in Hyde Park, Primrose Hill or Regents Park.
