How to get the best out of this city of 'beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics'

Everybody has their own London, with favourite haunts, snugs, clubs and dives. But mine began when I moved to London at 18 with a pocketful of ambition, a flash of naivety and a sense of adventure. Fast forward seven years and I’m still here in this city of "beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics," as Wilde called it, and would now go so far as to call this mad place "home".

London is daunting when you first visit, let alone when you come here to live. It can also be quite lonely if you don't know anyone, which is why I made it my mission to discover all the best places to eat, sleep, party and meet people. It is also why my friend Valerie and I created an app called Huggle to help people find great places and meet the excellent people who go there.
