Read London blogs from bloggers that love London
Following on from the post I did a couple of months ago about the 3 most useful London websites. Here’s a guest post by Andreas who runs London Cyclist blog, on 15 London blogs you should get to know.
Interesting events, news and expert reviews all make for great reading and for a well informed Londoner. These 15 London blogs are worth adding to your RSS feed if you’re finding yourself falling behind the London goings-on:

2. LDN
LDN with its accompanying Twitter account keeps you informed of great deals, events and interesting London news. As over 50,000 people follow LDN it’s worth taking a note of them.

4. Catch A Vibe
The site bills itself as “Your guide to black culture and going out in London”. It is a great website with posts such as “Top 5 South African Restaurants in London”.
Annie Mole’s famous blog provides humorous reading for daily tube users. It includes interesting observations, pictures and news from the underground. It is the best place to read about hilarious tube announcements and errors.

Guest post by Andreas. Andreas runs London Cyclist blog where he writes about cycling in London. He covers the boring stuff such as bicycle insurance, to the more interesting stuff like amazing London cycle routes and everything in between such as what is the best bike lock. He recently got naked for the London naked bike ride.
