Chandler’s grouchy behavior in London is the sum of all of the things that happened at the wedding. At first, Joey and Chandler decide to go sightseeing in London and Chandler gets irritated by Joey’s over-excitement and his constant “London Baby” chants. Joey kept taking photographs of him every other second and embarrassed him by buying weird souvenir hats and roaming around with a map in his hand. After getting frustrated all day, he decides to leave Joey. He ends up spending his day alone at the hotel and gets upset when Joey tells him that he met Sarah, Duchess of York after Chandler left.


After that, they all got ready for the rehearsal dinner and Chandler was excited to give a speech in honor of Ross and Emily. People in the room didn't find Chandler’s speech funny as no one got his references. Chandler got upset and embarrassed because he thought that he would give the funniest speech and people would love it. He was finding it uncomfortable to talk to people at the wedding.


The feeling of loneliness led Monica and Chandler to each other. One thing led to another and they ended up sleeping with each other. Both of them got awkward after it and tried to hide the secrets about their rendezvous. When Joey asks Chandler about Monica, he gets stressed as if he got caught and denied knowing about Monica’s whereabouts. Chandler feels guilty and stressed because of their secret and replies rudely to Joey to which he says that Chandler got meaner in London.
