London Locals: Our Favorite London Finds

Tuesday March 23rd, 2010

Continuing with our series drawing from the Londonista discussion board on our London Living social network, Marsha Moore (author of 24 Hours: London) has shared her own blog that includes a page on Hidden London.  She writes:

The Man and I made a voyage to Hatton Garden, London’s centre for diamonds, yesterday.  We were on a hunt for wedding rings, but I knew Ye Olde Mitre was around there somewhere, so we decided to try to find it.  After looking at some exorbitantly priced rings and wandering the streets for awhile, we finally decided to ask a jeweller where on earth this elusive drinking hole was to be found.

Turns out he was the perfect person to ask.  He had a drink at that pub when he came to interview for his diamond apprenticeship at age 14.  He pointed us in the right direction, and off we trotted.

Sadly, the pub was closed (it’s only open on weekdays), but it was definitely worth a look. Apparently part of the bar is an old cherry tree that Elizabeth I danced the maypole around.

What hidden treasures will YOU discover in your new neighborhood once London Relocation Ltd. places you there?

London Relocation Ltd. Recommends “24 Hours: London”

Thursday January 28th, 2010

No, this isn’t another day in Jack Bauer’s life in a new season of “24″–it’s how YOU can make the most of  YOUR day at any hour of it in London.  Marsha Moore is the author of this clever guidebook that dissects the city hour-by-hour so you will never have to be at a loss for what to do at any given time.  Covering the well-knowns along with the unknowns, 24 Hours: London has an appeal for both visitors and locals, and Marsha’s writing style will keep you engaged enough to actually read the book, not cast it in the pile of standard, non-reader-friendly guides  you’ve purchased with the best of intentions.  It has even received kudos from Boris Johnson, Mayor of London:  ‘This is a nifty guide for Londoners and tourists alike. There are some brilliant tips whether you have just a day to spare, or much longer to enjoy what the capital has to offer. London has some of the most famous landmarks and attractions on earth, so use this book to discover some of our city’s less well-known delights’ (quoted from the 24 Hours website).  Buy it for yourself and as a gift for your future visitors when you move to London, and when you’re living here and ready to tackle new terrain, hop the Eurostar with your 24 Hours: Paris guide (available this spring, just in time to smell the chestnut trees after a fresh April rain!).

And, of course, before you can venture out to see all that London can offer, you’ll need a home base–London Relocation Ltd. will be your 24-hour guide in that case.  At any rate, you can connect with us as well as Marsha Moore herself on our London Living social network site where she’s a member too!
