the Londonist

"Londonist is a website about London and everything that happens in it. That means news, reviews and events; the history and future of London. We provide everything you need to know about the capital, as well as celebrating the quirks, eccentricities, hidden and surprising bits that make up the alternative side of the city. Upbeat and eclectic, Londonist is created by a diverse team of contributors who share a passion for London; a bunch of London obsessives who live the city and share our best discoveries."

Those are their words. Check the site out for yourself, and dive into some of their suggestions while you're in town.
