About London Life

Your trusted guide to authentic London living, community building, and discovering the real heart of this incredible city.

Our Story

London Life was born from a simple realization: most guides to London focus on tourist attractions, but very few help you actually live here.

Founded in 2020 by a group of London residents who had each navigated the challenges of building a life in this incredible city, London Life exists to bridge the gap between visiting London and truly living here. We've all experienced the confusion of choosing neighborhoods, the challenge of making friends as adults, and the joy of discovering hidden gems that make London feel like home.

What started as informal conversations over coffee in South London cafes has grown into a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to experience authentic London living. We believe that the best insights come from people who've actually walked these streets, navigated the tube system daily, and built real communities in London neighborhoods.
