HotelDirect interview with All About London
Introducing: @Stay_In_London:
Stay In London is a very active twitter account and website
(www.allaboutlondon.com) bringing you the best tours of London, the finest
restaurants/ bars/attractions/exhibitions to visit and general tips to save you
time and money when exploring London. Whether you are a tourist visiting London
or a Londoner looking for a new adventure then @Stay_In_London is a great
source of useful information.
What’s the Story?
We arranged an interview with Dominic and Leigh, the two
founders of @Stay_In_London to find what inspired them to create such a great
London information resource.
HD: What inspired you to set up @Stay_In_London?
D & L: “The original idea was to create a resource to
help both visitors and people who live and work in London. So it’s a mixture of
tourism resources and contributions from people who work and live there. We
also feature items from visitors who enjoyed particular aspects of London, Including
submission of photos. Contributions from freelance photographers, journalists
and guest bloggers, add to the mixture. There are also those items that reflect
quirky or hidden London, such as the Victorian sewers with lost London rivers,
haunted London or old pubs, shops. We are strongly in favour of the huge bank
of knowledge in all the museums many of which are free.”
HD: Top 3 current events/places/ attractions in London?
D & L: “The Geffrye Museum – Especially if the Christmas
past exhibition is on! A mixture of tranquillity in the gardens and reading
room to fulfilling knowledge on the development of society in room periods.
The Museum of Childhood – Something for everyone, this will
almost certainly return anyone back to a point in their Childhood!
Take the Thames cruise to Greenwich – Market day is a good
day, take in the area, visit the Royal observatory and park. Go to Goddards for
a slap up Pie n Mash with liquor – Jellied eels if you dare.”
HD: If guests were coming to stay with you, where’s the one
place you’d insist on taking them?
D & L: “We find this difficult to name a single item! It
would be a series of mini adventures! So It would be A Southbank Explore, A
trip to Greenwich, Borough Markets and Shopping day.”
HD: Most amazing London experience?
D & L: “One day I discovered Little Venice. It was the
complete contrast of a very noisy busy Paddington area to a complete tranquil
calm of canals towpaths and quiet contemplation. As a visit, you can simply
walk or take a canal boat to Camden lock or stop and visit London Zoo at
Regents Park.”
HD: Why do you think you have built such a great Twitter
following?
D & L: “We have been on twitter for a number of years
and the variety in material that we tweet has attracted quite a diverse
following. We would like to think that there is something for everyone and most
importantly it’s interesting and useful!”
