London: Off the beaten path in London?
Check out Shoreditch Street Art Tours. Awesome way to see the area around Brick Lane. I would also highly recommend walking the Beer Mile on a Saturday morning -- start early! -- at the Kernel Brewery and then hitting Maltby... See More
London: Places to live in London?
It can really depend on your budget and if you are planning on a flat share or not. My old two bedroom/two bath in Clerkenwell is now going for £550 gbp a week...it was not on a very nice street or close to the tube...if that's any indication. Another thing to consider... See More
London: Great Hotel Near the London Design Center?
I think you mean the Business Design Centre in Islington. There's a Hilton right there, but if that's not your bag, I would recommend The Hoxton, Shoreditch which is one stop away on the tube at Old Street. Another option... See More
London: Cheap hotels in London?
I second using Hotwire.com. If you're willing to wait til the last minute, you might find some great deals. (I usually filter on hotels that have > 90% recommendation ratings.) Also keep an eye on the The Hoxton, Shoreditch and The Hoxton,... See More

London: How to go about taking a tour of London?
Check out London Walks at Walks.com and also look at Viator's London tour options. With Viator, you can book in advance pre-arrival. Otherwise, your hotel should be able to help you. TripAdvisor has a good list of London tours and activities as well. See More
London: Free things to do in London?
I would focus on markets! Borough Market for food on a Saturday, Columbia Road Flower Market for flowers and atmosphere on a Sunday, Brick Lane Market on a Sunday for people watching. All of this is free!! London... See More
London: Young, fun area to stay in London for College Grads?
I agree with Kelly and I would particularly recommend Shoreditch. Find a place around Old Street Station or Liverpool St or Shoreditch High St overground. Tons of restaurants, bars and pubs... See More
London: London's best restaurants?
I love José in Bermondsey (stand-up tapas bar) and any of the Barrafinas (counter seating, central London). It really depends what you are in the mood for! For British, I love Hix Oyster & Chop House. The Vinoteca... See More
London: What are the top 5 sights I can't miss in London?
I absolutely love taking a boat ride down the Thames. It's a great way to see the city!! There are a number of different tour operators, some who take you farther inland than others. At night, it's amazingly lovely to go all the way down to the Albert Bridge... See More
