Vlogmas In London
I'm in the middle of doing Vlogmas, a kind of daily video Christmas countdown challenge made popular by YouTubers, and I'm quite enjoying it. The videos are in vertical format for the platforms like YT Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. I'm not posting on Instagram though - that platform is dead in my opinion. Their parent company, Meta (formerly FaceBook) just crashed -70% in the markets as investors realise the demise of the social media giant.
Anyway, I'm creating short form documentary style walkabout videos of London. It's a chance for me to experience new places in the city as well. Even though most of the places I've recorded so far have been places I'm familiar with, soon enough I'll be heading to unfamiliar parts of the city. I just wish it was a little warmer.
I'm particularly looking forward to roaming around the streets of South West London. That's the bit I'm least familiar with - Wimbledon, Kingston, e.t.c. Do those places even count as "south west"?. I know there are many affluent neighbourhoods around there. I've been to the area a hand full of times. I've been to watch the tennis tournament twice. I saw Roger Federer's first win at Wimbledon. It was an amazing time when I first got acquainted to the whole strawberries and cream thing.
Peace & Love,

Well, Wimbledon is SW19, so I guess yes :)
Can't remember Kingston's post code, but yes, it's south west.
Hard to imagine Insta is dead (although good riddance). All those influencers suddenly without their permissionless job.
They're already on TikTok haha. They're making a killing on there at the moment. I was shocked when I got on there three months ago and saw what was going on. You can pretty much find some cheap product from China, twerk in front of it and sell hundreds of them ahaha.
Oh my days!
Someday in the future I would like to have a taste of living in London, even for a week.
It's a lovely city for most part :)

There's lots of areas of London that I haven't explored. I'll rely on you to show me what is interesting. I have been to Wimbledon for the tennis, but that was during the Olympics.
I plan to have a wander next week before the meetup, but that will be to familiar places.
Have fun.
Oh yea, the meetup. I totally forgot. I'll put a reminder on my phone to make sure I don't accidentally plan something else for that day.
Wimbledon is amazing during the tennis tournament. It really takes on a different energy. People come from around the world to be there and it does feel like the olympic games actually.
