The world is baffling at the best of times, and this really isn’t the best of times. Still, as always, London’s resilience is shining through and people are valiantly adapting to stay-at-home life. Londoners are finding brilliant new ways to do things they love. Whether it’s watching live streaming theatre or getting your favourite cocktails delivered, it’s great to see people making to most of a tough situation. That said, this new way of living can certainly take a toll on your mental wellbeing.
