Autumn in London 2023
Live the life
Your cultural and social lives as an American in London will be starting on Tuesdays. Get used to that, because the TimeOut magazine is released on a Tuesday morning each week and it is the best collection of things to do and stuff to see in London.
Don’t get this wrong, plenty of events are happening in London every minute, from rare food festivals to live shows and events for kids, but how can you tell where to go if you haven’t seen them all? That’s why I’d recommend that you wait until Tuesday to make your plans for the week.
Sunshine is love; sunshine is life!
You don’t need terrible flatmates to grow tired of your tiny cramped home. That is why the rare days of great weather are an entire holiday of sorts. Get out, stretch those sore feet of yours, enjoy a picnic in a park. What else are sunny days made for?
Find your tribe
There are a lot of things to see and do in London. You don’t have enough time to attend them all. Pick a neighborhood that’s close to you by spirit, study it, and make a few friends there. That’s what everyone does in the capital – they form small, yet tight tribes where people actually care and look out for one another. This is a common practice for those adjusting to life in London as an American.
The pub of life
The best way to meet someone when you are new in town is to go down the pub. First of all, there are plenty of awesome places to choose from in London. Secondly, it’s pretty much a norm to go there on your own. Lastly, given the number of themed parties like karaoke nights all local pubs host – it’s an excellent place for an American in London to meet new people.
Discounts are your friends
Life in London is expensive. But it doesn’t have to be that way if you are smart and savvy in the art of finding discounts. “Two beers” at the price of one may cut the budget of your night out in half, and the same can be said about everything “two for one” or “x% off”.
You’ll need to follow your favorite brands on social media as a Londoner in order to find special offers or promos. You’ll need those papers with coupons, and you’ll need at least one app that alerts you about special deals happening near you.
Go art yourself!
What I am about to say to you now is probably one of the most definitive traits about London: a lot of museums, libraries, and art galleries are free of charge! Yes, the city wants you to educate yourself and, by an awful paradox, most Londoners don’t have the time. Don’t be that guy or girl or Apache helicopter or whatever you are – go, enjoy, learn, and have fun for free while you can!
