2. Annoyance, when you realise you agreed to go to someone's house on the other side of London.

3. Elation, when you get off at the exact right spot on the platform to get to the exit.

4. Terror, when someone actually talks to you on public transport.

5. Confusion, when you see the latest new concepts coming out of east London.

6. Confusion, when you see someone doing something incredibly weird on the night bus.

10. Embarrassment, when your usual fast-food place knows you on sight when you turn up at 2am.

Or the front of the DLR.

12. Instant regret, when you decide to go to Oxford Street at any time.

13. Exasperation, when you realise you've been in the office for 12 straight hours and there's no chance you'll be going home soon.
