Hello! Welcome to This City Life London! My name’s Laura and I’m the writer behind this UK lifestyle blog. I lived in London for almost eight years before moving to the suburbs in Surrey. These days life is a balance between my love of the city buzz and longing for the quiet life in the suburbs and beyond.
This City Life started life back in January 2012 as a way to motivate myself and others to get out there and discover all of the great things London has to offer. I also wanted my own corner of the world wide web to embrace my love of writing and find a place for all photos I take on a daily basis. As the city never stops, I’m still finding new places to share with you, but I’ve been enjoying more time at home too.
Here’s a flavour of what you’ll find here with a little bit of rummaging through the menu.
‘London’ is a growing archive of posts now over six years strong, where you’ll discover how much there is to enjoy in such a vibrant city. There’s plenty of posts to get stuck into, which I hope might inspire a trip to the capital or motivate you to explore more on your doorstep. Sumptuous cocktails, fresh coffee hotspots, cakes for the sweet tooth, outdoor spaces to relax in, and great exhibitions worth absorbing to name a few.
‘Life’ is a bit more about my city life, what I’ve learnt, what I love doing and reviews of books I read on the daily commute.
‘Surrey’ is a bit of a new addition where I’ll share what I discover in the county moved to in the summer of 2017 (it’s just a short hop on a train from London).
‘Films’ is a place to put my short films and something I hope to do more of over the years.
If you’re looking for daily inspiration, you can find me over on Instagram @thiscitylifeldn.
