Welcome to AL's Guide to London
Welcome to AL’s Guide to London!
I’m Alan. I lived in Greater London all my life. I have a passion for exploring every corner of this incredible city. From the buzz of the West End to the quiet charm of hidden alleyways, I’ve spent years hopping on the Tube and discovering the experiences that make London truly unforgettable.
Now, I’m not exactly a teenager anymore — let’s just say I’m an experienced reveller! With age comes wisdom (and a better appreciation for comfy shoes and good coffee), and I’ve learned how to enjoy London in ways that are fun, fulfilling, and sometimes a little off the beaten path.
This blog is my way of sharing those discoveries with you. Whether you're a first-time visitor, a seasoned local, a student new to the city, or a professional looking for weekend inspiration, you’ll find tips, stories, and recommendations here that reflect a lifetime of London living.
Expect guides to iconic landmarks, reviews of quirky cafés, strolls through historic neighbourhoods, and insights into the cultural heartbeat of the city. I’ll also share practical advice — like how to navigate the Tube like a pro, avoid tourist traps, and find those special spots that don’t always make it into the guidebooks.
So grab your Oyster card, lace up your walking shoes, and join me on a journey through the London I know and love. Let’s explore together — one adventure after another.
