London can be at its most beautiful when it’s grey

  1. I used to work right there for almost twenty years. It’s a view I know all too well… lovely Italian restaurant just on the right – BarRemo. Great bolognese and pizza

  2. A person living in a shoebox outside of London wrote this.

  3. I actually agree with you…no one else gets it but for me it’s a sign of autumn 🍂 and cozy winter evenings inside.

  4. These low contrast days (grey sky, grey buildings, grey pavement; no strong shadows) put me in such a shit mood

    Any places starting to get autumn colours in?

  5. Maybe in some places but sorry this photo doesn’t show what you’re talking about

  6. I still can’t stomach the mess Westminster council made of Regent’s street.

  7. As a Londoner living elsewhere in Europe in a city that manages to be varying shades of seasonal grey- even the buses – I agree OP

    There’s always that tell-tale flash of red or a shot of green that is missing in so many other cities.

  8. Maybe its just me, but London is probably one of the ugliest cities in this country when its grey, compared to places like Bath, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham etc…

  9. If it was a little bit colder then yeh it would be one of those… London is great in only a London kind of grey.

    But not this muggy , sticky , drizzly shitty weather

  10. It takes a lot of therapy, spiritual awakening and meditation to have this upbeat level of delusion, OP. I have it too (I am aware it’s a delusional state and let it happen, tho. I assume you do, too!)

  11. I’ve always found it’s soft greys comforting, especially on rainy days

  12. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I just wish I knew what this eye was beholding

  13. It is depressing, but it’s the England we all know and can’t help but love. I know what you mean, there’s a weird comfort in it. I wish it wasn’t so though

  14. *insert bursting into epic laughter gif after being serious for a second*

  15. i love this city, but let’s be real, the weather here is shite. a depressing grey sky in 320 out of 365 days, only about 2 weeks of actual summer, rain every 2 days, etc.
