Almost everything you need to know about travelling in London, with some useful journey planning tools
Good commercial site for making arrangements for your visit – even longstanding Londoners can benefit from the expertise and information arrayed here
A pleasing and informative site, although its strapline could be misleading at first glance: it’s an alternative to other London guides, rather than a guide to alternative London

“A site dedicated to songs about London. As simple as that. The only rules are that the songs must be brilliant and that the blindingly obvious numbers are excluded. The songs may be explicitly about London or obliquely about the city in some way. This is a project that was deliberately designed to last for one year. It will remain live for people to explore.”
A marvellous photoblog consisting entirely of views from upstairs on London buses
