Ten Social Media Accounts to Follow for Londonphiles

Jan 23, 2023 By John Rabon Leave a Comment

For good or for ill, social media is everywhere these days.  We watch videos on Tiktok and Youtube, post our photos to Instagram, chat via WhatsApp, and keep in touch with our friends using Facebook.  Social media can also be a useful place to find information (hopefully good information) about places we love.  Of course, this includes London, and there are plenty of social media accounts to help you navigate your way through the city and have a great time.  From meme pages to transportation tips, we have outlined ten social media accounts we think you should follow, and you can share your own recommendations in the comments.

Londoner Memes (Facebook/Instagram) 

If you’ve ever Lived in London or even visited the city, you’ll get a good laugh at these memes poking fun at London life.  From jokes at about the Underground to the high cost of living in London, you’ll get an idea of what the city is like or enjoy the cheek.
