YouTuber challenges the idea that London is less friendly than northern cities by carrying out ‘social experiment’

Kate Moore26 November 2017

A YouTuber has baffled commuters with a social experiment which hopes to show that Londoners can be approachable to strangers.

The Sheffield presenter’s uplifting social experiment saw him offering Londoners a free meal as a random act of kindness to challenge the widely accepted view that the capital is less friendly than northern cities.

The idea came to him after he was given a free pair of trainers by the President of K-Swiss, Barney Waters.

Goldiing decided to pay it forward on London’s streets.

Previous challenges have seen Goldiing surviving in London for six months with just £100 and being offered £50,000 financial backing by two businessmen he had only known for a few minutes.

Watch the video above to see what happened in the social experiment.
