Keep reading for 9 signs you&#8217;re from London!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>1. You use the word &#8220;innit&#8221;.<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cLovely weather today?\u201d<\/em><br \/>\n<em> \u201cInnit just?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Like it or not, it\u2019s a word we use. Daily. It\u2019s not posh like people think. We don\u2019t all speak like Hugh Grant. It\u2019s probably most commonly used discussing the weather or politics though.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>2. You understand the football rivalry is real.<\/h3>\n<p>Arsenal. Chelsea. Tottenham. West Ham. Fulham. About 3 others. Is it any wonder that football rivalry is alive and well within London? All I would say is stay away from any Wimbledon games if they\u2019re played MK Dons (it gets ugly real quick).<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. You know&nbsp;5 minutes is a long wait for a bus.<\/h3>\n<p>In a city where everything is instant, waiting 5 minutes for a bus is agony. You want to just walk it but know full well that will take a lot longer (unless you\u2019re being super lazy and getting the bus to the corner store).<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>4. Women apply their makeup in moving vehicles more so than anywhere else.<\/h3>\n<p>Women applying their makeup are everywhere. Quite frankly, I struggle to put it on if I\u2019m stationary. Especially my eye liner.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>5. You know to move at commuter pace or move out the way.<\/h3>\n<p>Commuters. They\u2019re a fast, angry, and highly populated breed in the buzzing capital. If you walk slower than they do- get out of their way. They don\u2019t care if you\u2019re lost or with friends \u2013 they have 30 minutes left of their lunch break and need to make it to the local pret for their panini and coffee.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>6.&nbsp;You always get the music tours.<\/h3>\n<p>Every band\/artist\/comedian is going to come to London if they\u2019re doing UK shows. No need to worry about the 5 hour journey to travel to a show. Just buy your tickets and figure out transport on the day!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>7.&nbsp;You know to get on the train where you need to eventually get off of it.<\/h3>\n<p>5th carriage, 2nd door. That pulls up to your stop right by the ticket reader which means you need to walk 23 steps past the bin when you get on. Then you can be off the train and out the station in 10 seconds max.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\"><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>8.&nbsp;You never refer to Zone 1 as Zone 1, it&#8217;s Central.<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, so TFL (pft, those guys) call it zone 1\u2026 But let&#8217;s be real. You don\u2019t say \u201cI\u2019m travelling to zone 1 today.\u201d You\u2019re going to central. Be it Waterloo, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly\u2026 It\u2019s just central in terms of travel.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>9. You have to ask yourself, <em>what\u2019s a car again?<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>With constant tubes and buses running and trains at all hours of the day, many Londoners have never driven a car in their lives. <em>Why would we?<\/em> There is no reason for us to know when we can swipe our Oyster card and listen to our latest audio book as we travel in a hot, sweaty box on wheels.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>What are some other definite signs you&#8217;re from London?
