London is one of the most famous cities in the world. Fact. But how do you identify a native of this magical city of rain and murky river water? Well if they live up to these 9 signs, there’s a good chance. Keep reading for 9 signs you’re from London!
“Lovely weather today?”
“Innit just?”
Like it or not, it’s a word we use. Daily. It’s not posh like people think. We don’t all speak like Hugh Grant. It’s probably most commonly used discussing the weather or politics though.
Arsenal. Chelsea. Tottenham. West Ham. Fulham. About 3 others. Is it any wonder that football rivalry is alive and well within London? All I would say is stay away from any Wimbledon games if they’re played MK Dons (it gets ugly real quick).
In a city where everything is instant, waiting 5 minutes for a bus is agony. You want to just walk it but know full well that will take a lot longer (unless you’re being super lazy and getting the bus to the corner store).
Women applying their makeup are everywhere. Quite frankly, I struggle to put it on if I’m stationary. Especially my eye liner.
Commuters. They’re a fast, angry, and highly populated breed in the buzzing capital. If you walk slower than they do- get out of their way. They don’t care if you’re lost or with friends – they have 30 minutes left of their lunch break and need to make it to the local pret for their panini and coffee.
Every band/artist/comedian is going to come to London if they’re doing UK shows. No need to worry about the 5 hour journey to travel to a show. Just buy your tickets and figure out transport on the day!

Okay, so TFL (pft, those guys) call it zone 1… But let’s be real. You don’t say “I’m travelling to zone 1 today.” You’re going to central. Be it Waterloo, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly… It’s just central in terms of travel.
With constant tubes and buses running and trains at all hours of the day, many Londoners have never driven a car in their lives. Why would we? There is no reason for us to know when we can swipe our Oyster card and listen to our latest audio book as we travel in a hot, sweaty box on wheels.
