London Life Guide: Your Friendly Companion to UK Living

Welcome to Diary of London, your complete London life guide created by someone who’s experienced it firsthand. I stepped off the plane in London on a cloudy May morning in 2005, a bright-eyed student eager to explore. Everything was new and different – from double-decker buses to the British accent. I knew nothing about life in the UK.

A Comprehensive London Life Guide

Over the years, I’ve learned to navigate the Tube, find the perfect flat, and master British small talk about the weather. I’ve spent countless hours researching the best places to eat, hidden attractions, and practical UK living tips.

I created ‘Diary of London’ to help make your journey smoother than mine. This practical resource is designed for everyone from newcomers to long-term residents. Whether you need tips on getting a BRP card, finding the best fish and chips, or planning weekend trips, I’ve got you covered.
