It’s not love at first sight. Well, maybe for first-time visitors. The time you walk into an exhibition at Tate Britain or Modern, the instant you discover hidden jazz clubs of Soho, the walk alongside the canal from Borough Market to Southbank, the first encounter with St Paul’s Cathedral from Millenium Bridge, the moment you realize the grandeur of The British Museum columns, the nanosecond you get mesmerized by Hyde Park, Notting Hill, Kensington. For anyone who set foot in London these are rememberings, flashbacks of London.<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/10/1/1668436494595.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="1.67" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"><h4 fr-original-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Jimmy Page at Tower House</h4><h4 fr-original-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Photograph Alex Telfer, The Observer</h4><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;">But for the ones who choose to reside in this city, it’s a long run. You fall in love with Tower House on Melbury Road (a building you just passed by so many times) when one tells you the story of its inhabitants from 1881: the poet, writer, and broadcaster John Betjeman; actor Richard Harris; the guitarist and founder of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page. 'Robbie Williams is living next door,' he adds. You fall out of love when the trains are canceled and your only option is to wait two hours in line for the bus at Stansted. Another friend calls on a Saturday asking if you would like to go to Royal Observatory Greenwich. You fall in love. A quick bite at the market? Crowds, people taking selfies. You fall out. A sunset at the Hammersmith, looking at the bridge. Cars are missing because it's only open to pedestrians and cyclists. Falling in love. Waiting for the overground, time unknown due to delays. Falling out.In London, sometimes it’s an apple or pomegranate or even better, a quince tree that grows, other times it’s the queues, and waiting times. London with a little bit of resilience grows on you, and you grow with it.The tune this week is&nbsp;<a fr-original-style="" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/7fhzES2ZyvdaD7jSwFOZrR" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Balthazar - Bunker</a>Hazal

HOPPING

London’s approach to vegan food is pretty simple: let’s subtract animal products, eggs, and honey from the tasty heaven of plants and elevate flavour, zest, and innovation. It’s not about what’s taken off but the vegan parmesan added on top of a three-hour slow-cooked mushroom and lentil bolognese; carrot lox in between bagel sheets, mayonnaise infused chickpeas mixed with shallot for a quick sandwich.But even in this land of ‘London can make anything vegan, anything vegan can be made in London’, a crucial element was missing. A deli where the ingredients are layered between two slices of bread, and the toasties are crunchy on the outside and soft at the centre. I use the past tense because now, it's here.<img lazy="loading" src="https://images.aposto.com/1200xauto/2022/10/0/1668341963833.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="0.75" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"><h4 fr-original-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">The Third Culture Deli, counter</h4><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;">The artisan team who developed c’e dairy?

What attracted you to this city?I wouldn’t dare to call myself a Londoner because it has only been six months but I have always been in love with London because when you are seeing the world through the lens of musical theatre as I do, there is no better place!<img lazy="loading" src="https://images.aposto.com/1200xauto/2022/10/1/1668417290542.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="0.80" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"><h4 fr-original-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85); font-weight: 500; padding: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Yasemin in London</h4><hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;">How does the city shape your profession? How do people and the culture of your hometown inspire you?I love how London allows everyone to do their own thing without any judgement. As someone who constantly works in different fields, I find it easier to adapt to London. However, I will always carry my hometown wherever I go because my greatest goal is to tell our stories in a universal manner in one way or another.London is described as a multicultural, multicoloured city, do you see indicators of that on the art scene, especially in performing arts?Yes yes yes! The most truthful thing I have ever heard since I came here is that in London everyone is from somewhere and no one is from anywhere. It is truly as if everyone just blends with their individualities.

Aposto London

In London, sometimes it’s a quince tree that grows, other times the queues and waiting times. London, with a little bit of resilience, grows on you and you grow within.
