I moved from us to London – here are the three things I like about the UK compared to Back Home

An American woman who moved to London Last year she shared what the UK does better than the US – including the weather.

Madeline Good game, from TexasUSA, moved to the capital seven months ago to start a master’s degree, and admits that she arrived as a complete American -obsessed American.

“I am the kind of thinking that they would move here and seamlessly switch because I saw the Inbetweeners, and of course I watched the Peep show,” she said Mylondon.

Despite her knowledge and trust in navigating through British life, she confessed that the transition was more eye opening than expected, because she added: “Watching British TV can only prepare so much.”

Now, after half a year in the city, Madeline shared the best things she now prefers about life in the UK.

Pub culture and tip

One of the greatest lifestyle changes that Madeline has embraced after moving to London is the pub scene.

The student said that she was ‘charmed’ by local institutions because they tend to bring communities, such as football supporters.

For comparison: Madeline revealed that she feels less busy in British pubs than in American bars, as she added: ‘American bar culture cannot compare, and it usually comes down to tips. If you go into the US, you tip. Your tip everywhere. ‘

She believes that bars are more transactional in the US, and that as soon as a punt stops publishing, it is in essential time to leave.

In London, Madeline said there is a ‘magic’ to be able to walk to a local pub, beat a few drinks and walk home.

Public transport and walkability

Madeline embraces the walkability of London and how easy it is to make ends meet without requiring a car

Madeline grew up in Texas and revealed that she was used to boarding the car to go everywhere.

She explained: ‘Most American cities are not designed for walking and our cars are designed as tanks. A mile can take an hour to walk because priority is given to cars, no pedestrians. ‘

Now she embraces the walkability of London and how easy it is to make ends meet without requiring a car.

Even with incidental tube delays and strikes, as well as continuous complaints about overcrowding, Madeline said that she is still ‘obsessed with’ with the public transport of London, and added: “The magic is not worn out for me!”

The weather

Although she called London Winters ‘brutal’, the student said that the cozy pubs and Christmas markets of the country make more than the hard weather

When it comes to the weather, Madeline called it a draw – but she admitted that the UK has surprisingly enough benefits, especially when it comes to comfort.

Although she called London Winters ‘brutal’, the student said that the cozy pubs and Christmas markets of the country make up more than the hard weather.

She added: ‘Trust me when I tell you that Texas Summers is not for banging, not even with air conditioning.

Madeline explained how winters in Texas are ‘not much better’, because frequent ice storms can cause power failure, which means that people would be forced to ‘sit in the dark and drink alone’.

Although she admits that life in London is not perfect, Madeline is happy that she has made the move.

With regard to her struggle with lifestyle changes in the UK, she joked: “And if I want to complain about it, I will just walk to the pub and meet my friends.”
