I’m from up north so no London love story – me and my fella have been together for 9 years, and if we win this competition maybe we will be able to make a new story for the future!

i’ve been single for 11 years so this is a tough one and we’re going back a bit. i used to be into rockabilly music (shows you have far back we are going back!) and used to go to a club night called ‘stompin’ at the club foot’. i was moshing (ah ha, another throwback!) and simply grabbed a bloke to dance with. the moshing was a bit frenetic and it was only when the song stopped and i got a good look at him that i was hit…bang…love at first sight. never had it before, or since. colin was his name. ended up living with him for a year. trouble is, he turned out to be very beautiful but thick as pig shite. oh dear. so it wasn’t really a happy ending. but it does sum up an era of london for me (formally known as ‘the rockabilly era’…very well known!)

i met my partner at an REM gig at wembley- the green album tour in 1989!! when i was 19 (I’m now 40- shush don’t tell everyone!). i lost my friends but found my true love in the crowd! He was the first guy to offer me love rather than romance! we’ve never looked back! we still go to gigs together- its our tradition- perhaps we can catch someone cool in Paris if we win!

My london love story
I was visiting London about 2 years ago and decided to take a tourist walk around the Brick Lane early one evening.
Everything was fine until this girl, asked me for the time. The next thing she pushed me to into a wall and demanded my phone and wallet. Then she told me to walk to the ATM machine or she’d stab me.

Anyway the girl is holding my arm tight, when this kid stumbles off this bike and she let go of my arm for a second.

Flight or fight instinct kicked in, and I ran like the wind – thankfully toward a busy pub that I’d been in before.
Thank god for putting my oyster card in my back jean pocket with an emergency Â£10, so I got myself a drink.

Suddenly the shock kicked in and I realised I was physically shaking. This guy at the bar next to me, asked if I was okay.
I told him the story, I start crying and he insisted to help me out.
This is how I met Jamie.

He asked if I knew where any of my friends worked, and then he called 118 and called my mate at her work.
He bought me lots of drinks, his friends told me their funny stories of being mugged in London too.
He and basically looked after me until my mate arrived. When I was going he said he would feel bad about asking for my number, seeing as I didn’t have a phone anymore, he gave me his number and two years later we are still together. But I’m not allowed to wander about the East end alone anymore.

Angus and I met nearly a year ago on a plane to Riga. He was on his way with friends on a stag do and I was on my way with friends on a hen do. His party was sitting behind our party on the plane and the flight was unfortunately delayed on the runway for an hour. Everyone was chatting to everybody else. I was in my little world reading the paper when one of the girls in my party asked what I was reading about. I replied that the Guardian was speculating that Man United and Barcelona will be in the Champions League final. Angus overheard this and asked who I thought would be in the final. I said I hope Arsenal would as they were my team. It so happened that it was his team too! We exchanged numbers and texted a lot during the weekend but he was keen for us to meet up when we got back to London. Sadly I was on my way off skiing the week after we got back but had a free evening just before we set off. We met for dinner at Quaglino’s and it was the start of our relationship! It’s still really brilliant and we’re about to celebrate our one year anniversary in March. It would be great if I can surprise him by winning the competition by taking him back to Quaglino’s for a rerun of our first date.

Well hubby and me had a fantastic time in London.. I had not been since being a young child .. we went for a lovely meal.. had a romantic boat trip down the Thames .. went on the London Eye .. theres something really romantic about a city on a warm bright day.. We visited the Sea Life place as we both love to see what goes on beneath the sea! … Another time we stayed in Canary Wharf as we had to see how the rich work and party! ..
We have now visited numerous times whether it be to sit in Leicester Square with the street entertainers near by or wandering around China Town .. it felt like we visited several cities in one! London we love you! I think we are hooked..

I went to a rock music night in a london niteclub.My favourite rock song came on and i ran to the dance floor.I got carried away shaking my head and body.To my horror my long black wig had gone flying off my head and landed on the man behind me.He handed me my wig and that broke the ice.We both couldn’t stop laughing.He brought me a drink,we dated and then got married.He didn’t have to worry about me making a holy show of him at the wedding as i got rid of my wig from my gothic days and i am now blonde and i am happy with my own hair.Despite that hair raising moment we fell in love in london.

My boyfriend and I met really unexpectedly just when I had given up on finding a partner after five years being single. I tried to keep chilled and not bothered about the fact that he was applying for a working visa to go to Australia and live for a year, so I just said let’s live for the now and have a good time. After 3 months of seeing each other, we went to London for the weekend. We wandered round Bloomsbury and had a wonderful Italian lunch in a little restaurant, we went to see One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest with Christian Slater, it was amazing at the Sir Guildgood Theatre, that night. The nest day we roamed around Covent Garden and ended up at Vinopolis in the afternoon having a wine tasting lesson. We had such a lovely time and I remember thinking to myself, why, oh why does he have to go away, now that Ive found him, but vowed to keep my thoughts to myself, so I made a silent wish. Five and half years later we have a house together and I love him as much now as I did then and although we have been through a lot together, including him having an horrific car accident and us both being made redundant….I often wonder if my wish in London if my wish I made in London kept him close to me? x
