Or is just living there enough? I've lived in London for three years now, and both my Mum and Dad are from London originally... Does this make me a Londoner?

The only qualification is to have a permanent place in London. Being a Londoner is not a timeframe, its a state of mind

The great thing about London is that anyone can call themselves a Londoner, even if they've been living here just a short time. It is a genuinely cosmopolitan city, with people living and working together from every corner of the globe, all calling themselves Londoners. You just need to go to the Notting Hill Carnival to see that. London really is the best city in the world.

You really need to be born in London, grow up there, go to school there and work there before you can be considered as a Londoner. However, you are well on the way to becoming a fully fledged Londoner with parents born there. Perhaps in about 20 years you could say you are a Londoner, especially if you develop a proper London accent and believe that it is the greatest city in the world to live in.

Hmm! Good question!!
I've lived in London all my life and i wouldn't consider myself a "Londoner".
No reason in particular, I just associate the term "Londoner" with some one who speaks like a cockney.
Yet on the other hand, could i be considered a Londoner because i have lived here all my life???
Regards..

How well do you intergrate into London life? Do you take advantage of it's services, visit the museums and theatres? To be a Londoner you have to live a way you can only live in London.

I stay interior the London Borough of Hounslow and am fairly happy to tell people who's the place I stay you will no longer get carry of any destructive remark once you assert which you reside in Hounslow. it is WEST London - and borders on Heathrow airport, so between the gentle downsides is which you get fairly countless airplane noise. it is an extremely blended neighbourhood and includes some poorer class factors besides as countless fairly extreme class factors - the value you will possibly pay for a house might remember on which incredible area you had to stay - a common value for a three mattress room residing house in a respectable area may be around £3 hundred,000.00 (GBP 3 hundred thousand) in spite of the certainty that in case you chosen some the place like Osterley (a element of the Hounslow Borough) you ought to pay as much as a million GB pounds. ....
