I recently relocated well away from London motivated by costs and not really enjoying it there. I had and still have some friends there but all everyone seems to do is work and travel to work and be away. I lived in zone 3 south London and there was absolutely ZERO sense of community. I relocated to a very slightly outside (zone 6) location which was a bit better, neighbours spoke to each other etc. I finally relocated away entirely to another part of the British Isles and it seems there is still some community here but it takes time to break into. I have read a lot about how isolated our lives now are and wondered what you thought about this? Some people make tons of friends at uni which did not happen to me. I suppose if it had and we were still all in touch I wouldn't need to meet new people either so maybe that's why? But I don't see why it shouldn't be possible to make friends in your 30s and 40s if you make an effort. Just wondering.
