The most notable part of London culture is the sheer amount of different cultures located within the city. Never have I been in a place where I could not distinguish what language was being spoken. I read somewhere more than 250 different languages where spoken in London and that is an insane amount. A great consequence of having so many cultures in one place is the diversity of delicious food. The best Indian food I’ve had was at the Borough market. Although I have been told that proper English cuisine is dreadful, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it thus far. I’ve had a few Sunday roasts thus far and they have yet to disappoint. In terms of people I have met, most have been very amiable and polite. Although I think I have only met one person who was actually from London. Also, the holidays and traditions are obviously different here. People don’t celebrate Halloween with the same fervor as back in the States but the 5th of November celebrations rival the spectacle of the 4th of July. It was great to see all of the fireworks throughout the city.
