    Home but still worth reviewing

    I live in London but writing this for visitors. London is probably the most diverse city on earth. Doesnt matter what you look like or where your from youll find your community here. Brixton market is elite, Shoreditch for the vibes, Camden for the weird stuff. Its expensive as hell tho - budget like 100 quid a day minimum. The tube is confusing at first but youll figure it out.

Brixton, Peckham, Hackney sont des quartiers avec une forte communauté noire. La nourriture halal est partout. Le métro est un peu vieux mais efficace. Seul bémol : le coût de la vie est astronomique.
