Feel like it's common for really big cities to be difficult to befriend anyone. I've been in London for over 6 years and my only sort-of friends I made was from office before. It's a struggle meeting people any other way. If you want to meet people otherwise you have to get out of your way to travel 1h+ in busy public transport (which already ruins my social mood) to some meetup full of randoms of any background. Most of them desperate guys looking for hookup and that's the case with most socials of this kind. You could join some fitness classes but then you get an extra bill of £100+ just for the potential to meet people. I've heard of people making friends through hobbies but I really struggle to find 'social' hobbies. That leaves you with office being the most convenient way of making friends even though it's far from perfect and once you leave the job you rarely meet them.
