Thanks for setting this up, Peckham resident here was tempted to set this up at the start but I knew someone else would haha!

Woolwich here, not too far afield.

I should be thanking you for setting up this instance! It's nice to have a corner of Lemmy for the UK and I hope to do my part in helping to grow this community.

Hi, I'll be in the UK only for an internship but I hope I am still welcome here haha! Really looking forward to seeing what life on the islands is like.

Edit: forgot to add.. I'll be in the Bethnal Green/Cambridge heath area... I'm a bit nervous but also excited about the move :D

Everyone is welcome in London. Doesn't matter if you are visiting, staying for a short stint or living here. There's a lot to do in London, you are sure to come of it with some great memories!

Thank you for setting this up!

Maybe this group can succeed where r/london failed... in explaining why Leicester Square.

[–] Granary@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why what happened to Leicester Square?

[–] TheNumberOfGeese@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Not so much what but why. It makes no sense!

Whoever made the art for the sidebar, I love it.

Thank You, It was originally made as the icon for the community but I realized it was a bit hard to see when small so I went with a Tower Bridge silhouette instead.

@Vinnyboiler@feddit.uk I'm testing replying with my mastodon account to see if it will show up on in the comments. Now I'm testing an edit.
