I have been following the blog of Marsha Moore, a Canadian ex-pat living in London who is also the author of 24 Hours – London
and 24 Hours – Paris
. Marsha isn’t native to the city of London, but during her time in the country she’s been able to figure out the best things to do each hour of the day. The kind of things that tourists don’t typically do. The kind of things that Londoners are sometimes surprised to think about doing. The kind of things I’m excited to read about in her book, which I ordered from 24 Hours – London on Monday and arrived today. Marsha’s blog is an interesting read, so I look forward to cracking open her guide book.
I also ordered Time Out London for Londoners
, which was recommended to really get of sense of each neighbourhood. Since I will be living in a neighbourhood of London, I want to know what’s nearby, which neighbourhoods have good public transit, and the variety of other things that typical guidebooks don’t tell tourists about.
Hopefully all these books don’t weigh down my suitcase TOO much!

Yay! Hope you enjoy your time in London, and thank you so much for the kind words about my book! I hope it helps you fall in love with the city as much as I did!
Thanks again!
As do I, Marsha. Thanks for stopping by!
Is there a way to have your new posts emailed to me?

I have Time Out for Londoners.. it is a bit rude about where I live but I can see their point as well.. it’s as well to take it with a pinch of salt and I say that as a native Londoner! But it is better than most and I think it has a lot of useful pointers.
I also have a more general guide book as well as I am trying to persuade myself to go out and about in the centre more. It’s something you forget if you’ve lived in a city all your life but the great thing about London is that even having been born here and lived here for *cough* over 30 years, I am still always finding new things to do and places to go!
thanks for this suggestion! i really want to get her 24hr-Paris one and see what she has come up with!
