Londoner Obscura

London is the biggest city in Great Britain. It has nearly seven million inhabitants,  around 5,000 pubs, over 300 museums and at least 25,000 acres of parkland. It has a huge number of famous landmarks: the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge to name but a few obvious examples.

So how on earth do you navigate such a vast and culturally-saturated city?

Sure you can go and get a photo next to your favourite celebrity at Madame Tussauds or go and attempt to climb onto a lion at Trafalgar Square, but surely there's more to our capital city?

That's where Londoner Obscura comes in: it's time to explore some of the bits of London that aren't in the Lonely Planet guide.

Londoner Obscura will specialse in the hidden, the forgotten and the obscure. If it's covered in dust, we want it. If people walk past it without noticing, it's for us. And if it's got an exciting story to tell, we're going to find it out.

Nothing is off limits.
