understand totally, which is why when friends move out of london, despite me wanting them to stay, and them knowing that it won't be the same, the pull of moving to someplace closer in spirit to where they grew up is strong.
And is also why I'm so adamant about my kids being raised in london, as I don't have the pull of someplace else/ another "home" to head to. I brought my home. Anyplace else I head to be will be a dislocation...

Nah, I thought your post was clearly talking about your own experience.
It's odd realising that something you thought was (almost) entirely comfortable at the time is no longer comfortable - which can be said for many things as part of growing up and seeing more of the world. But there's also a thing about going back to what you knew, even if it's not what you really know any longer...
