Not Leaving London

My blogs

About me

Location London, United Kingdom
Introduction On August 8th 2011, riots that had been concentrated in a small area of the north of London spread to the rest of the capital.

The following day, hundreds of Londoners took to the streets with their brooms to clean up the mess. Some even started their own initiatives to help their communities bounce back.

This is the London I know and love.

My name is Liam and I'm originally from Sydney, Australia. I'm one of the 27% of Londoners born outside the UK. I like to think that we help make London 'a world in one city'.

I created this blog to give ex-pats like myself a way to send a digital love letter to London and say why they're not leaving in light of the recent troubles (as some overseas press has hinted we should do).

Please send any of your pictures, your hometown and why you're not leaving London to NotLeavingLondon@gmail.com. And please send this blog to anyone you know. Show them how great this city is.
