When I surf over the internet, looking for information for my blog, I sometimes find it withinLondonistwebsite. Probablymany of you already know about it, but I myself want to know more about it so I researched a bit, and write about it to salute their effort to brighten up us Londoners' rather boring life otherwise.
Londonist is a comprehensive "website about London and everything that happens in it", according to its facebook info. It covers news, events, reviews, arts, culture, fashion, restaurants and bars, transports, and sports, as well as history and future of London literally anything. The website not onlydeals with mainstream topics but also talks about the other side of the city eccentricities, quirks, secrets, and surprises.
Londonist was founded in 2004, as a part of US-basedGothamist's city-centricblog network. By 2006 it was"ranked in the UKs 50 most influential blogs" (the Hospital Club), and was awarded the Guardian's "Top London Blogger"in 2010. In the same year in 2010,Londonistwas transferred to the London-based startup LDN Creativeand became an independently-operated affiliate of Gothamist (Wikipedia/Londonist).
A look of the website is simple and rather generic, but all what you want to know is likely there. They seem to have loads of excellent informants their up-to-dateinformation comes out very fast and covers all around the city, beating many print media and London local news sources. Massive15,606 people(as of today) "like" the Londonist on its facebook page. It is an achievement!
