What do you mean - happy because we're just happy, or happy because we're living in London?
I'm a happy person for both reasons! Happy on the second count because there is so much life and variety here, and it never stops. I can buy anything I want if I have the money, see any show, visit world-class ballet and opera, see some of the best art galleries and museums in the world - right on my doorstep. Walking home on a summer's evening, seeing the trees' green bordering my avenue, and the pale colours of the early Victorian houses in the late sun makes me very happy. So do the rare snowflakes of winter, as they turn the city into a scene from a fairytale. And from here it is easy to reach any other part of the world, even though we are lucky to have so many nationalities living here. Additionally, I live in the very middle of two thousand years of world history, much of which can be seen in the lesser-known parts of my city.
If I want greenery, I can drive half-an-hour out of town (depending on traffic) to have lunch at a 300-400 year-old country pub, and wander around a little village.
There are unhappy people too, but we're just the same as any other big city. People have to rush to work, to the shops, to an appointment; some might be strolling along just looking in the shop windows, or on their way to a park in the summer.
Ideally, I would like to have one home here, and another near the sea - wherever!
