From London's iconic Standard newsroom, a podcast of pure joy. Our senior feature writer and editor Katie Strick tells the true stories of real people finding love in the world's greatest city, from couples who locked eyes on the District Line to emergency service workers who had their meet-cute on a 999 call. Prepare to laugh, cry and scream "just ask them out already!" so loudly you forget you're standing in a busy Tube carriage. It's like a Richard Curtis movie in your ears every week... except all of these stories actually happened.
