Making and listening to a playlist themed with my travel destination always gets me excited when I’m planning, packing and even on my travels there. If you haven’t already listened to my previously published playlists, click the links below:

I go to London so often that it never occurred to me to make a playlist until I knew it was my last time visiting before the big move to Canada (postponed courtesy of COVID-19) where I got all nostalgic and put together this playlist. I was surprised by how many songs I had always known but never before realised are about London, hopefully this playlist will enlighten you too! Never before have I made such an eclectic playlist with one running theme, I’ve got everything from your angry-at-the-world punk to a poppy love song by T.Swift!
