When you’re leaving abroad, you can sometimes feel a bit homesick or just weary. Here is a list of “happy places”, places or just activities that make you feel better, where you can go to take your mind off this feeling!
– Sometimes we just need to stay in bed, so take a nice cup of coffee or tea, and stay under your cozy duvet while watching your favourite TV shows or cartoons.
– If you like to read, you can go to Daunt Book, the chic bookshop in Marylebone. Nothing better than diving into fascinating stories to feel better!
– Treat yourself and go take a brunch at your favourite place! If you don’t know where to go, here are some ideas: http://www.lespetitesjoiesdelavielondonienne.com/en/brunch-in-london
– If you feel lonely, maybe you just need to meet some new friends! Here are some ways to do so: http://ukstudentresidences.com/make-friends-london/
– Go do some shopping if your budget allows it. It’s well-known, shopping is a real therapy (but maybe only for women, it usually seems like an ordeal for men).
– Go take a lovely walk in London while listening to your favourite songs. Here are some itineraries you can take:
From Camden Market to Primrose Hill via Regent’s Park: https://londonhomestays.com/itinerary-london-camden-market-primrose-hill-via-regents-park/
From Notting Hill to Kensington via Portobello Market: http://ukstudentresidences.com/itinerary-london-notting-hill-kensington-via-portobello-market/
– If you are a sportsperson, get up early in the morning and go for a run during sunrise in one of London’s beautiful parks! Endorphins will give you the energy to face your day!
