I’ve grown up and lived in a medium sized town in the Midlands most of my life. During my late teens, 20s, and early 30s I’ve always enjoyed weekends away in Manchester, Birmingham, and London a few times a year, visiting friends and going to events.

Just got back from a weekend in London, the first one in a couple of years, and I just feel… drained. In all honesty I felt that way by the end of the first day.

I’ve never wanted to live in London, but in the past I’ve always enjoyed myself there for a long weekend. This time felt different, exhausting. Is it an age thing? Has anyone else found themselves enjoying city life less and less as they get older?

    I’ve always hated London with a passion. Shares the 1st place on my most disliked cities list along with Hamburg. I used to live in Berlin for a while and I enjoyed it a lot, but that was ages ago. I found the people a lot more accessible, though. Back in the UK, I mostly enjoyed Belfast. Glasgow is a close second.
