See the sights of London through the eyes of a local. When I lived in London I learned which places are worth paying for, what can be seen and photographed from the outside, alternative (cheaper!) skyline views, and the best local pubs and restaurants.

A day out on foot exploring Shoreditch, from someone who has lived in East London for >5 years.

Shoreditch is the new place to be in East London! It’s also known as the “Brooklyn of London”, where you can explore so many different aspects that make London so unique. From wall graffiti and vintage stores to the famous Brick Lane curries and lots of new (and good) restaurants popping up, Shoreditch is definitely the place to explore.

I hope you enjoy this guide.

Any tips would be appreciated 😊

Nightjar

Nightjar has become a huge success, busy even midweek; we visited on a Monday and were lucky to get in. Clear message: book a table. The cocktail list, divided into historical eras, makes for enthralling reading with all its unexpected ingredients.

If I had to choose my favorite London bar it might be Night Jar. Just so intimate, cool, chill. Go here with a date, with some mates to wind down, or by yourself to meet interesting people.

Unique cocktails and jazz make for the perfect combination for a date night.

Hidden bar suggestion from Kayla Ketner, no real food menu.

Book ahead! This place is small and popular!
