ALmost There

It’s Almost there – drinks outside and dining al fresco with friends and family, actually trying clothes on in a shop…and from our survey of Londoners, it appears you’re almost there too.

Londoners can’t wait to share the delights of the capital – in all their forms – as lockdown lifts, but are going to be careful about how they do it.

According to the research, conducted across 1,000 Londoners in the last month:

• Our most eagerly awaited post-lockdown pleasures are shared experiences, with 58% of residents looking forward to visiting a restaurant again
• The place we’re most excited about visiting again is Covent Garden – 33% of Londoners named the district as their preferred destination after April 12^th
• There’s a desire to enjoy traditional Central London days out, with 30% wanting to visit museums and exhibitions
• Many Londoners are eager to get back to the capital’s guiltier pleasures, with 28% of residents missing fast food on the way home after a night out
• The #1 experience Londoners most missed about trips into town is window-shopping and trying clothes on, with 33% wanting to update their wardrobe in person after the last year
• Despite confidence that London will recover, 67% of respondents will be more cautious when returning to the centre of town

It’s clear to see that post-lockdown, you want shared experiences – dates in restaurants and having brunch with friends. You also want to do typically London things that you may never have done pre-pandemic – like finally going to that museum or exhibition. You’re also missing things you never thought you would – 14% of Londoners are looking forward to a chat with one of our drivers after a night out.

As well as looking forward to a chat on the way home, we’re as excited as you that London is re-opening, and we’re here to get you to your favourite bar, shop or sporting event safely and in style.
