It has finally dawned on me that there are better search tools out there for finding your way around London than just relying on good ol’ TFL’s journey planner. In the past it used to be the A-Z in the one hand and the address in the other. It took you ages to find something and you always felt nervous on the bus and travel going somewhere new but all of that has changed.

I now use a combination of tools available online to find my way around London. London is a big city and I have met people that have lived here their whole lives that do not know any of the other boroughs in London. Imagine finding your way with a paperback map in your pocket and a postcode that looks gibberish in the other.

Someone introduced me to the beauty of Google Earth and ever since then I’ve browsed on it looking at new things to explore in London. You had to download Google Earth and let it go onto the internet to connect to their servers but I have now found a website which does the same and fairly quickly as well. Awesome tool to be using when going for a job interview, a new nightclub or even discovering a bit more about London. Be curious, I dare you!
