Ask a Local! Has anyone spotted the 80count of 20ml Mr. Freeze freezies (not jumbo)? I know it’s more of a seasonal item so I haven’t been able to find them anywhere

guys, this is literally crazy! I can’t believe this is happening in London! Apparently it was done outside of a Jewish students house.

discussion / opinion Looking for friends

4 Upvotes

Hey there, 22/f, I have never made a reddit post, so this is me swallowing my pride for the sake of finding community… so please be nice, hopefully I am doing this right…
I’ve been in London for 5 years now and have had a rough time making friends. I live in my mothers home with my 25/f fiancée and feel like no one my age is looking for community or a village anymore, I’m currently not working, or in school, just trying to find myself.
I don’t like to drink or party (though I’m a smoker..) so it makes it quite difficult.
How do you find people that align with you? How do you find real people who are authentic, kind, and accepting ?
I’m sure this is an issue for lots of people in any city, hoping to find some hope and kindness, or suggestions. Facebook can be brutal… especially neighbourhood groups, maybe I am too naive.

I’m staying with my Bf this weekend, staying tomorrow-Sunday and I need help finding cheap parking. The lot outside his apt is very expensive. Is the HONK app legit? There’s a lot near him that’s 80ish $ which for me is reasonable for 5 days of parking.

🥄food /restaurants /gastronomy Pad Kra Pao around London

Post image
15 Upvotes

I love pad kra pao (Thai dish pictured) and the only place I’ve seen it around London is Thaifoon. Sagi also has a version of it as well (which I’ve had and is really good). Does anyone know of other Thai places around London that has this?

I’ve checked a bunch of Thai restaurant’s menus online and I haven’t found anything else.

I know it’s easy to make at home and I do make it occasionally! But sometimes the takeout just hits different lol.

Thanks!

Housing & Rental 🏠 Good landlord recommendations?

1 Upvotes

I’m looking to move somewhere in the North or Northwest side of London in a few months. I want to move into a 2 or 3 bedroom place w/ at least 1.5 bathrooms, ensuite laundry, and parking available.

Does anyone know if any GOOD landlords who might have listings? My current landlord is very sweet and patient and helpful. I have heard horror stories on here about certain places (Drewlo for example). I have a credit score of 807 and am employed and have a reference from my current landlord as well. I just wanna make sure I’m not signing on for a year of hell ☹️

I’ve checked on task rabbit and couldn’t find anyone who specifically helps with this. I am terrible with this sort of thing, so please no comments about how it’s easy and I should be able to do it myself. 🙂

Ask a Local! Looking for live band recommendations in London, ON

5 Upvotes

Planning a 40th birthday party and looking to hire a live band. Ideally, we’re looking for a band with a really well-rounded music catalogue that can play a bit of everything and keep a mixed crowd entertained and on the dance floor.

Think classic rock, 60s/70s/80s hits, 90s and 2000s throwbacks, some country, pop, and other crowd-pleasers!

Would love to hear recommendations from anyone who’s hired a band for a private event or seen a local band they’d highly recommend. Bonus points if they have videos of live performances!

Housing & Rental 🏠 Does anyone know the kitchen cabinet colour/stain used by Prosperity Homes?

Does anyone know the kitchen cabinet colour/stain used by Prosperity Homes?

I’ve read plenty of the negative reviews about Prosperity Homes as a builder, but I do currently live in one of their homes. We’ve been trying to contact them for a while to find out the exact colour/stain and type of kitchen cabinets used in our build, but unfortunately, we haven’t received a response.

We’re in the middle of renovations and need this information to make sure the new work matches the existing cabinets.

I’ve attached a picture for reference. Does anyone recognize this dark wood stain or know the cabinet style/type? Prosperity Homes is still using this same look in their builds today, so I’m hoping someone here might know the exact name or have had better luck getting this information from them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank yaaa!

Ask a Local! Affordable restaurant / venue with a private room for birthday lunch?

0 Upvotes

Hello locals,

We are gathering relatives from a 2hr perimeter in London for a birthday lunch. Looking for a restaurant that has a private room or another creative solution that I don't know about. Not looking to spend on the venue itself, just the lunch.

Bonus if it's kid friendly!

Does anyone have suggestions? Thank you!
