I’ve spent lots of time in London, I studied in London, I like London. It’s just not my home.

The remark distinguishes affection and familiarity from belonging. Vegas acknowledges London’s formative role—time spent there and study—while insisting that “home” is something deeper than admiration or opportunity. Read biographically, it aligns with his public persona as a proudly working‑class comic rooted in the North West of England: London can be a cultural capital and a place of professional development without replacing the emotional geography of origin. More broadly, the quote speaks to tensions in British life between metropolitan centrality and regional identity, and to the idea that mobility does not automatically dissolve attachment to place.
