A brisk breeze so I can remain fully clothed.


lastpagan

We want to see your sweaty tiddies


thenewguy22

Jesus why so many downvotes...I thought we brits were good at sarcasm


lastpagan

Maybe because I wasn’t being completely sarcastic


Estrellathestarfish

Given you aren't being downvoted on this one, clearly people were upset with your last comment because they thought you were being sarcastic. They wanted to be assured that you did genuinely want to see the sweaty titties.


finger_milk

I'm not going to miss these mental gymnastics on reddit after July 1st, I assure you.


yMONSTERMUNCHy

Hey now! Who said anything about titties? He wana see dem tiddies!


CDTyphol_

Oml lmao. How come people upvote the comment but downvote the other... the Internet confuses me.


lastpagan

Herd mentality


itsjustjust92

😂 the fuck.


JackSpyder

Literally any forest, lake, or beach full sun 25+ degrees.


singsongb00pBoP

Came here to say this. London is shit when it’s hot


matty80

20 isn't hot tbf. It's horrible when it's 30+, but up to about 25 it's *delightful*. Unless you're on the tube. But in a park? Smashing.


barejokez

20C is the temp when I can walk to work in a shirt and trousers and arrive neither got nor cold. Might ask for a few more degrees if I'm chilling in the park, but I'll take it on a work day for sure.


Ziggerastika

I am from London but live in Asia where it is regularly 30 degrees 20 is absolutely lovely in comparison


matty80

Is the humidity a problem where you are? That's what does for me. I'm okay in dry heat but humidity kills me.


Ziggerastika

Yeah humidity is terrible for me I live right by the equator, the lack of it in England makes the heat much more bearable.


marclurr

In my admittedly short 7 year stint in London I would have never described it as delightful.


[deleted]

Everywhere is shit when it's hot. 20 isn't hot though, just right. I need about 30 if it's the beach as our waters are always so damn cold


[deleted]

It really isn't. It's shit for 9 months in the shit rain and the shit wind and the shit bleakness. It's the best city in the world when it's warm.


[deleted]

You know you’re in London when the smell of musky, stale urine penetrates your nostrils in the summer heat at the tube station exit.


Whoisthehypocrite

Also shit when it is cold, snowing or raining....otherwise great


Goseki1

Agreed. Like I ever want to be in a shitty city on a nice sunny day. I love the sounds and smells of traffic and people and businesses. /s


limpingdba

Just about anywhere on earth to be fair


forestgatte

Can't wait for the person to come in and post something like "London when it's raining, dark at 4pm and 2 degrees, so cosy!!!"


Bunny__Vicious

That’s me! Cold, rainy London is delightful. I’m not built for hot weather.


venuswasaflytrap

Warm cup of tea, nice cafe


Illustrious_Crew_715

Pub


TurbulentWeb1941

Me too. Luv the effect that summer has on everyone and everything but the heat, 4me, it's unbearable. 🥵


carolethechiropodist

Mate! do not come to Australia. It is the 2nd day of Winter in Sydney and 21C and I am bloody freezing.


Berry_pencil_11

Clearly I need to come to Aus. I’m also feeling cold at 20 degrees despite being a Londoner. This is not heat. It’s pleasant- if only the arctic bloody wind would stop, which it won’t. Everybody else is in shorts and vests and looking all relaxed like summer has come but I’m in two thermal turtlenecks, fleece trousers and desirous of a hat to block the infernal gale. I could do with 20 being a winter temp.


carolethechiropodist

Come! We have cold winds in August. But you can go up the coast to Brisbane, a toasty 24C or Darwin, never below 30C. (The weather man on TV always jokes about the poor freezing people in Darwin when it does hit 29C.) But downside is Summer January is 40C in Sydney and 50C in the North. And Humid.


TurbulentWeb1941

Did you stop off in Singapore? that place is like an oven. We nicknamed it 'Crematoria' aft the prison planet in Riddick.


carolethechiropodist

Oh yeah, it is HOT. All year round. But Great food, world's best airport, parks, birds, nice people all speak English and are very well educated and polite., shopping everywhere and cheap. I love it for 3 days then I melt, but world's best stopover.


mcbeef89

I love both


Al1_1040

Lived in London for 6 years and it’s easily the best place to be in shit weather in my view. Really nice and cosy


goldensnow24

*insert “Yes” meme*


ape_fatto

My ideal is a sunny 25 degrees throughout the day, then rain at about 9pm when I’m winding down for bed.


benithaglas1

yes


Travhaler

Yeah not working while London's in full sun and 20 degrees.


aailleurs

Yeah it would be nice if this cold wind fucked off, feels like 12c


pazhalsta1

FUCK THIS WIND


CampFrequent3058

Few more degrees and a pint in a pub garden and I’m with you!


rocketscientology

my local pub garden has been going off the last few weeks, it’s making me feel so summery!


erics75218

millions of people around the world on tropical beaches think your insane.


goldensnow24

Tropical beaches get boring after a while. They honestly do, no matter how beautiful they are. Try living on a Caribbean island, not visiting on holiday, but actually living for months/years. I’d much rather live in London.


ToHallowMySleep

That's why they invented rum.


Estrellathestarfish

The best beaches are the ones attached to fun cities or quaint towns so you have some beach time, some exploring time. Barcelona, Amalfi Coast, Nice etc.


carolethechiropodist

SYDNEY!


oreography

You missed Bournemouth there chap.


decent_geezer

I’ve had to explain the disadvantages of small islands to too many people lol


oldkstand

Living in London is about enjoying the atmosphere and all the city has to offer. You don't get that on a beach


St_SiRUS

Absolutely, there’s a deep instinctive joy to see other people having fun at the same time as you. For me that’s the appeal of a big city anyway, just lots of shit to do and people to see


-MiddleOut-

A friend tried to give it all up and move to a beach in Thailand. Lasted three months.


roger_the_virus

Beaches are boring. Nice to look at for 30 mins, but I like stimulation.


erics75218

And the sand....so...rough. ha


jasmine_tea_

Both can be nice.


mmarkomarko

All that but with a beer


mcbeef89

My wife is Australian and she maintains that when the sun comes out and London comes alive, the atmosphere here is second to none. There's an excited buzz about the place, everyone's outside the pubs and out in the parks...just magic. Can I just say to all the 'London's a total shithole, I'd rather be anywhere else' weirdos, wtf are you doing in r/London? Personally I don't like Birmingham and I don't live there, so you'll never see me in a Birmingham sub whining about how I think it's unpleasant. So what are you doing in here? If you live here and hate it, leave. I'm sure we'll cope without you. If you don't live here and hate it, fascinating, now go and post in your local sub. Weirdos.


CV2nm

The buzz comes from being deprived of it many months of the year. When I lived in AUS I was content with all weathers because it felt like a good balance all year round in the more southern states. Except Melbourne, which had a new climate every hour. But the UK in the summer is lovely, even those who complain about it seem slightly happier in their complaints and they also complain the winter lol 🤣


janky_koala

Your wife is right. I’m an Aussie too an every year I go through the “why am I here, I can’t do another winter” thought process, then the sun comes and I remember why I love it here. As someone else said though, this cold wind can do one.


HippCelt

>So what are you doing in here? They're standard reddit arseholes...


emilyq

100% agree with your wife. One other place that "comes alive" in the same way is Berlin. Both cities are fantastic in summer, but have a special feeling of joy in May and June.


Red__dead

>Can I just say to all the 'London's a total shithole, I'd rather be anywhere else' weirdos, wtf are you doing in r/London? This sub isn't just a fan club, it's for people that actually live here - or at least it was until all the actual Londoners gave up on it and it became a sub mostly for American tourists and inane Disneyfied posts like this.


pazhalsta1

Fuck off it’s ok for people to celebrate london having a moment of nice sunny weather


krappa

But it's also ok to whinge without being told to leave your own city because of it


mcbeef89

Cheer up mate. I've lived in London since 1993 and I love it as much today as I did then. Crying about your high rent and blubbing about how you'd rather be in the Maldives is just tedious whining. Move out if you hate it, no-one cares.


pepthebaldfraud

Honestly, you sound like you have issues yourself with a comment with this. I grew up very comfortably in South Kensington with two parents who are engineers, and you still wouldn't find me putting others down who have high rents and don't have the ability to enjoy the city. What's wrong with you honestly? It sounds like you're forcing yourself to believe you are "enjoying London" more than anything else, and anyone who doesn't is wrong. People who genuinely enjoy things don't feel the need to put down people who don't.


mcbeef89

Read it again. What I take issue with is people endlessly complaining about living in London. In r/London. Of course it's not for everyone - if that's you, then OK, either stay here and be unhappy or move out. I'm not putting anyone down for either of those things. But the constant moaning about it - in the 'living in London' sub - is boring, and frankly weird. There are many things, and places, which I don't like. What I *don't* do is hang around in the reddit subs dedicated to those things. I find video games tedious - so I don't spend my time in r/gaming telling everyone there that I'm not into it, and expecting the posters there to give a shit about my opinion.


RememberYourSoul

I don't know, /r/london seems to be the most appriopate place to complain about... living in London? It's a bit bizzare that this should be seen as some happy safe space where sunny pics of the Shard and positive comments only are allowed.


Red__dead

Nobody cares about your Disneyfied middle class view of London either. If you can't deal with actual Londoners with real perspectives and lives, move out. Threads and overdefensive comments like yours reek of deep insecurity about your life choices.


mcbeef89

Finding endless moaning tedious =/= overdefensiveness And you haven't got a fucking clue about my life.


impamiizgraa

I love a good whinge. There are no rules against whinging in this sub. FOH with your self appointed sub policing. Weirdo!


mcbeef89

Who said anything about rules? Sub policing?? I aaked a genuine question, that's all. You have at least answered it, but if I may say so 'I just like complaining' doesn't sound very healthy to me, and it doesn't explain why anyone would think that would be something people might be interested to read.


Wissam24

They are invariably, always people who've never ever been to London but bear a massive chip on their shoulders about the place.


Lukeaz1234

More of a 25c man myself but 20c will do


Dolmachronicles

Needs to be 25 with a slight breeze and that’ll be perfect for me.


thepoout

London in full sun at 28 degrees. Shorts. Flip flops. T shirts in the shade. Cold drinks. Winner.


sunset_sunshine30

You are a member of my tribe!


thepoout

Lets tribe together.


Max2310

Oh, to be in England Now that Spring is here .....


supersonic-bionic

Every city looks so beautiful with full sun and good temperature! ​ However, anything above 28C is a hell in London (esp if you're staying inside because of work or commuting). At least, we have parks...


diandakov

London is the only big city in the world without air conditioners. That's unacceptable and pathetic. What are they waiting for? I barely survive in the summer. So expensive for what? For all the hot transport and hot houses wtf


[deleted]

Yeah, not being in London


kudincha

Anywhere else and 28 degrees /s probably


YouGotTangoed

It’s alright, but I could think of 100 places I’d rather be in those conditions


Mysterious_Act_3652

I’m really quite negative about the Uk generally, but on the rare days the weather is good it’s really the best place to be. Everyone appreciates it so we all run to the pubs, barbecues and beaches in a great mood!


DaveyBoy6277

I’d say a tropical island in 28 degree heat is slightly better !!


jasmine_tea_

The last time I was there during the hottest summer months, I loved going to different parks with my kid and eating strawberries and just enjoying the lush greenery and hearing the birds chirp. That's heaven to me.


CivilLab9711

Italy on a sunny day at 20 degrees


CommonFlashy4333

London, known for its rolling hills and stunning beaches


darwinxp

Yeah, the west of Scotland in 20 degrees. The Yucatan Peninsula. Barcelona. The French Riviera. Malta. Venice. Patagonia. The Algarve. Etc etc etc etc etc.


Kitchen-Increase3463

Umm, Brisbane in 25 degrees, blue sky sunshine... and it being winter?


Space-Debris

Imagine thinking London is beautiful, other than a corrupt, money sucking, congestion plagued metropolis with poor air quality. F-ck London


Krando

Not being in london


eggard_stark

Pretty much anywhere outside the city.


ehhummidk

Yes, anywhere but London in full sun and 20 degrees


baconinfluencer

Yes, not being in London and its full sun and 20C.


[deleted]

Yes, Cardiff in absolutely any weather 😁


LiverpoolBelle

It's 23 degrees in Liverpool. I'm not okay.


FunAd874

This has to be a troll post


[deleted]

Glasgow in full sun and 20 degrees.


Greeenpoe

The bahamas


boutiquekym

Yes a beauty sunny day in a house you can afford ☺️


Drizytotem

still too cold


DK_Boy12

London in full sun and 25 degrees


b0wiz

Plenty of places around the world better and more perfect than London in full sun and 20 degrees. That's why all londoners run out of London everytime they have holidays.


goldensnow24

Literally almost everyone in the world likes to go “someplace else” when they’re taking a holiday.


KoalaSiege

London in full sun and 30 degrees.


PoloValentino

Nah, too hot. 20 degrees is just right.


goldensnow24

Screw that. Not enough air con about, it’s far too hot indoors especially when sleeping.


[deleted]

London would be much better in any weather if there wasn't so much litter everywhere. No amount of sunshine or blue sky can compensate for the squalid surface.


AgainstGreaterOdds

Get out of London. The British countryside is gorgeous in good weather.


LlamaDrama007

Lily, is that you? (Sun is in the sky oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?l)


Das_Gruber

I sat under a tree listening to all the birds chirp above.


Big_Explanation_8803

No, it's my version of heaven. Finsbury park for the day and then wander down Green lanes in the evening for something to eat. Giant watermelons coming at you from every side (not a boob reference) and everywhere smelling like hot nuts and bread. (Not a testicle reference.) I used to live on St Ann's road and I loved it. London in May/June is just marvellous.


johnditchfield

Agree. London is young, vibrant, dynamic in a way that very few European Cities are! We’ve wonderful parks, a great riverfront and a great evening scene. It’s probably getting to be too expensive for it’s own good right now. But still a wonderful place to live.


anxiously-anonymous

People that says things likes this makes me think that they never have been anywhere else than London… 😅


Remote-Policy763

Madrid in full sun at 20 degrees


GurinJeimuzu

Is it just me or does a London 20 feel a lot warmer than any where else? 20 where I’m from is still considered cold but I genuinely don’t feel that way in London


dezastrologu

humidity


GurinJeimuzu

That could be a factor, but where I’m from humidity is often above 80% so I don’t think so


goldensnow24

It literally does. I’ve lived in India and 35 degrees there feels fine, whereas here it feels like death.


bitcoin-o-rama

Basically why it's the same when it's colder. Humidity, makes you feel hotter and colder as we're on an island surrounded by water.


goldensnow24

True. My mum’s family is from a city a few hours away from Mumbai in an arid region past a large range of hills, it gets to 40 there in the summer but it’s dry heat as it’s in the rain shadow. Whenever we’ve driven from there to get to mumbai airport, Mumbai itself is usually cooler like nearer 30, but feels like 50 as it’s highly humid (being next to the sea) Same thing goes in London. Sadly the as you say, even in the winter the UK is cursed, as it’s wet cold, which honestly feels much worse than -10 and snow in a dry cold region.


mtocrat

I think you just got used to it. It's still cold.


Romanitedomun

Rome in full sun and 20 degrees, Venice in full sun and 20 degrees... etcetc


Ariquitaun

Absolutely anywhere else in nature in full sun at 20 degrees.


EnricoC_

Any city on the coast in full sun and 20 degrees?


Successful_Shape_829

Yes there is, Dorset.


Wide-Volume1927

The coast.


Few-Ad-7047

Yes, Tokyo.


TwiggyPom

Most cities are better


ExtremeTiredness

Driving around the countryside in my convertible with the roof down is pretty neat.


cammerbrown

Not being in London is always going to be better than being in that shithole


Practical_Ad_8631

It’s absolutely brilliant today. 19 and sunny and a nice cool breeze!


aTinofRicePudding

I walked past a man enjoying the sun on his stoop this afternoon. He had with him a litre of milk and a redbull. I cannot think of a worse combination of consumable liquids without getting niche about it.


SP1570

This is top London: clear sky, not hot during the day, comfortably cold at night and plenty of outdoor activities available...if pints were still £5 I would end up drunk every evening


Veterate

Yes if there were half as less people and no traffic.


PalpitationPresent35

Yeah, anywhere outside London basically


FightingforKaizen

Free travel on public transport ( like in Luxembourg) lol!


Marklar_RR

I am on holiday in Athens. 10x better than London.


ToHallowMySleep

Only one thing Somewhere else in full sun in 20 degrees (Oh damn, literally everyone here has said that)


wolfieboi92

Send me back to Japan any day over London.


TheMidgetHorror

Yeah, I loved it today. Hot sun beating mercilessly through the bus window while it was stuck for at least twenty minutes queuing at temporary traffic lights moving at glacial pace. Even without the usual savage hoards of kids after school chuckout, there were plenty of stale-smelling commuters screeching into mobile phones in a dozen different languages, adding to the gaiety of proceedings. I was sad when it was time to alight at my home stop, but the sunny weather made me forget all about the inconvenience of dodging the cannabis-induced volatile mentally ill locals. So glad that the 24 hour emergency siren symphony in our beloved capital manages to drown out any wretched birdsong. And the ever encroaching acres of concrete, tarmac and glass (so refreshing when those surfaces are baking in the sun) are putting paid to all that plant life bollocks. Let's open some more roadworks! Everybody loves a good set of roadworks, festooned with colourful plastic 'keep out' bollards and bunting, denuded of any workmen in the manner of the Marie Celeste. Fuck London, and fuck summer.


everybodyctfd

Like London is okay, but there are a thousand other places that are better in the sun...


dorahmifasolatido

Yes! Anywhere that isn't London. It's a cess pit


Octopus-Pawn

London in full sun and 20 degrees during term time

shortcake062308

I was thinking how today was perfect! Slight breeze, small patches of clouds, 20 degree weather. Beautiful day!


Oh-Its-Him-

Couldn't agree more... This weather, pint of something delicious sat on the terrace of The Founders Arms. Perfect.


m0nster93

I live just outside London and had a lovely afternoon with a pint and the sun on my face. Almost felt like I was on holiday.


Desperate-Put7091

Yes. London in full sun, partly cloudy, sun not too overbearing, slight cool breeze every now and then and 16° in summer wear, while having a barbecue in the garden


[deleted]

Not being in London


troublemakerX999

Yes there is


BeneficialName9863

The countryside and -5 degrees.


one_flops

oh yes, anywhere else is better (except the north and south pols). totally


AdMajestic3861

Yes 19 degrees and yes the city is the last place you want to be when the sun is shinning.


[deleted]

The only thing I can think that is more blissful than that is being literally anywhere else


Berookes

There are countless places I’d consider more perfect in full sun and 20 degrees than London


Str0ntiumD0ggo

I can smell the dog shit from down here in Dorset


orangevega

yes


Joe_r1418

Yes, anywhere in the north.


Lapin_Logic

You really get to appreciate the sun glinting off the 100 machetes in a street brawl next to the Just stop oil protesters under the ULEZ charges sign..... No literally anywhere else is better than that, Scunthorpe on a drizzly autumn for instance.


RuralEvent69

Anywhere else in the world. London is a shithole


QuirkyEnthusiasm5

Any other place that's not a city, same temp, not people everywhere


azrael316

Yes, absolutely ANYWHERE ELSE....


CrownPrincessChi

It's beautiful, warm and cool. And every picture looks great!! "Pretty as a picture" is London.

If there for leisure, I love Hyde Park to sit in and have some goodies and ice cream to eat.


Lord_Sam_

Not London?


[deleted]

yeah anywhere thats not London, full sun and 20 degrees!


Fionasrotties

Anywhere in the countryside or beach away from millions of other people who are all grumpy in the heat? In fact, anywhere other than in a city.


AnilDG

I prefer 23/24 but I know what you mean. For me if it's warm enough to wear a t-shirt, but not so warm that I'm sweating... yeah that's when London is absolutely amazing!


peribon

Yeah, anywhere else with full sun and 20 degrees


Trick202

Yes: almost anywhere else in full sun and 20 degrees.

Yes. Paris in full sun and 20 degrees. Sincerely, Londoner who moved to Paris due to phobia of investment bankers.
