My most exciting things to do in London

Your perfect Local will share your interests, personality and passion for meeting like-minded travelers, as well as understanding your lifestyle, language and culture. Whatever your interests are, we can connect you with a like-minded Local who can’t wait to show you the places you’ll love to visit, eat at venues where the food is to your taste and share a side of their city that they know will captivate you! But some of our Locals' favourite things to do in London are exploring the diversity of London’s unique neighbourhoods, browsing vintage and antique markets, eating your way around vibrant street food stalls and pop ups, making the most of free art galleries and museums, partying through London’s eclectic night life scene, escaping to leafy parks for fresh air, tranquility and the best views of the city and wining and dining at both classic and innovative restaurants, proper British pubs and unique cocktail bars.
