London SE1 is good but it’s just one of many good local sites in London. I’ve got a great one in my area
Thanks for commenting but the other site that you mentioned makes you register before you can get any information. Not really what a blogs about or this post so I’ve taken the link off.
It’s always interesting to come across new London blogs have you got any favourites?
Thanks for these tips! I do follow some of these blogs myself. However, I will do a little bit of ‘plugging’ here. Do check out the London cityblogs of Spotted by Locals – http://spottedbylocals.com/london – perhaps it might make your list in the future! Thanks!
