About Memoirs Of A Metro Girl

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!
