Anne Clark+FollowWho else is over loud music on the tube?TfL’s finally cracking down on people blasting music or videos out loud on public transport, and honestly, it’s about time. Some say it’s a much-needed move for common courtesy, while others think it’s impossible to enforce. From people with sensory issues to those just wanting a peaceful ride, everyone’s got an opinion. But will posters really change anything, or is it just noise about noise? What do you think—should we all just suck it up or demand more respect? #Transportation #PublicTransport #LondonLife00Share

VibrantVoyage+Followhow did my tiny london yard turn into a secret jungle oasis?Three years ago, my backyard was just a patch of sad grass and a few weeds. I started small—just some pots with herbs and a couple of tomato plants. I never expected it to change my whole vibe at home. Every weekend, I’d add something new. Some lavender here, a rose bush there. I learned to mulch early, which kept the soil happy and the weeds away. Watering in the morning became my chill time. Watching everything grow was wild—like, I actually made this happen? Now, I’ve got birds visiting, flowers everywhere, and even a tiny veggie patch. My favorite hack? Mixing tall and short plants for that layered, cozy look. It’s my go-to spot to relax after work. Can’t believe how much joy a little dirt and patience brought me. #gardeningtips #urbanjungle #londonlife #backyardmakeover #Gardening20Share

russellolson+FollowWould You Buy a £25M Island Near London?Imagine skipping the London commute for your own private island—Osea Island, just 40 miles from the city, is up for grabs at £25 million. This isn’t your average getaway: think 38 homes, a village pub, and a celeb-approved recording studio (Rihanna and Stormzy have both chilled here). The catch? It’s not exactly a quick train ride away, but if you’re dropping £25M, you’re probably more of a helicopter person anyway. Talk about an upgrade from a suburban semi! #LondonLife #DreamHome #RealEstate #LuxuryLiving #MoneyMoves80Share

RetroVibesOnly+FollowIt's Mary Smith. Her job is to wake people up by shooting dried peasJust reading about this incredible job from the 1930s in East London 🤣 The woman named Mary Smith was a "knocker-upper" and her job was to shoot dried peas at people's windows to wake them up for work. She earned about sixpence a week. I saw a lot of comments from people saying a pea against a window would never wake them up. But I was thinking, we're all so used to so much noise now. The loudest thing they would have heard was probably a horse carriage outside. It makes sense that a pea would be enough to do the trick. People also went to sleep not long after dark because there really wasn’t anything to do past that. It just hit me that none of us get enough sleep anymore. We're all so wired all the time. #History #RetroVibes #OldJobs #KnockerUpper #SleepTalk #ModernLife #LondonLife #RealTalk #Health #Nostalgia 92Share
