"Hip" abbreviation of "London Metropolitan University" recently adopted under its new image change drive. A byword for crippling bureaucracy as well as a focal point for no talent 'Meeja' student wannabes with Ipods and ironic t-shirts talking crap about Marxism while playing with their greasy ponytails.
I tried to take a crap at LondonMet but had to fill this form out in triplicate and get it stamped by Jesus. I should expect my toilet validation smartcard in 6 to eight weeks, at least thats what the guy with the crap ponytail in a Magic Roundabout t-shirt said while trying to get me to buy a copy of "The Socialist Worker"...

Get the LondonMet mug.A word used to describe the attitude of Londoners who seem incapable of realising that places other than London even exist. It describes the attitude that London is the centre of the universe and that anywhere else in the country or even the rest of the world is unimportant and not worthy of their attention. In short it describes people whose heads are so far up their own arseholes that if their eyes aren't brown then they ought to be.

Londoncentric means centred on London (the one in the United Kingdom not Kentucky USA). Only achieving wider use during January 2014, it describes the apparent belief, of pundits and prognosticators on the politcal and economic situation in Britain, that what is happening in London applies to the country as a whole.
In an interview on Channel 4 News, Chuka Umunna, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, used the word Londoncentric when replying to a question concerning the British Government's economic figures.

Get the londoncentric mug.It’s use has become quite common now in the United Kingdom and has two possible meanings:
1 It can mean centred on London and the belief that what is happening there is a true reflection of what is happening in the country as a whole. This belief is a mainstay of pundits, prognosticators and think tanks, which probably explains why they so often get things so wrong it would be laughable if it wasn’t so damned annoying.
2 It is also used to describe the attitude of Londoners, not just those born there, but transplants from elsewhere who seem incapable of understanding that London is not the centre of the universe. This self-centred, egotistical arrogance has led to the belief that anywhere else in the country or even the world is not worthy of their attention. In short it describes people whose heads are so far up their own arseholes that if their eyes aren't brown then they ought to be.
