Is London as Bad as the Internet Says?

Описание: People are being nice about... London?!

In this episode, Tim and Marcus do something a little different and go guest-free to unpack the recent wave of “Londonmaxxing” posts, the wider doom narrative around the UK, and why they still believe London remains one of the best places in the world to build.

From crypto and AI to talent, infrastructure, culture and the city’s weird ability to layer Roman walls next to glass skyscrapers, this is a conversation about what London gets wrong, what it still gets very right, and why the bull case for the city is stronger than people think.

Also in this episode:

– The difference between doom-posting about the UK and the reality of building in London
– Why London still has one of the strongest talent pools in crypto and tech
– The role of time zone, language, finance and law in keeping London globally relevant
– Whether the city is being unfairly compared to Dubai and the Gulf
– Why London’s mix of history, culture and constant reinvention still matters
– The frustrations, trade-offs and reasons Tim and Marcus are still backing the city
