About Memoirs Of A Metro Girl
Welcome to Memoirs Of A Metro Girl, a blog about experiencing and living in London for both residents and visitors.
Having being born and brought up in London, I am fiercely patriotic to the city and wouldn’t dream of living anywhere else… even when I retire many decades from now.
I started this blog in spring 2012 as a celebration and exploration of the history and attractions London has to offer – some well-known on the tourist trail, but also some hidden parts off the beaten track.
The blog features guides to the capital’s festivals and special events, reviews of bars, restaurants, pop-ups and gigs, as well as include a historical backdrop when possible. I hope both Londoners and visitors to the capital enjoy my writing.
Every month, I publish my guide to the best events on in the capital – festivals, open houses, exhibitions, etc, to help you make the most of your free time or visit to London. Click here for the latest guide.
As much as I adore London, I also love leaving it! I am an avid traveller and have visited over 45 countries so far, with the (rather overly ambitious!) aim to visit 100 countries before I die. When this city girl does leave London, expect a few travel features on my ‘You Can Take The Girl Out Of London…’ section.
As this blog is still growing, if you like what you see, please tell your friends and share posts on your social networking pages.
Happy exploring!

Good to meet you. Really like your blog. Born and bred Londoners are harder to find these days. Most of my friends these days are out-of-towners!

Glad you enjoy my posts. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it 🙂
Love the monthly best events in the capital idea! One thing though you have no email contact form it seems. Unless I have link blindness and cant find it. You might want one of those for the future.
