We took to the streets surrounding The Royal Exchange to ask the City community to share their thoughts on the topic of love. In this special series, we find out #WhatLoveIs to Londoners today.

CHRISTOPHER, 38, ENTREPENEUR

“Love is the little things, like her putting whole milk in my coffee when she takes semi-skimmed. It’s the constant care and respect my parents have given me throughout my life. It’s giving away your last Rolo. I think you know you’re in love when you always want to be by someone’s side and there’s a constant feeling of butterflies that causes extensive daydreaming when you’re not with them. The only thing about love that scares me is losing it. I last said ‘I love you’ to my girlfriend, it was for sorting out an itch I had on my left shoulder – as I said, it’s the little things.”
