What’s on in London
Listings and entertainment guides both printed and on the Internet.
Here's a rich variety of informative sources on enjoying life in London.
First class
- Time Out
-
Their London listings were the first and are still always bang up-to-date.
Time Out magazine is in the newsagents every Thursday. Explore on-line.
- Evening Standard
-
London's daily newspaper has entertainment guides every week.
This is London is the Internet version.
Value
- Rough Guide
-
In printed form this is a book, not a lively listings guide,
but it does have a solid on-line guide to London.
Bargain
- Fresh Direction
-
There's a huge student community living on a shoe-string in London.
The Time Out Student Guide is given out at their
Freshers' Fair every year or you can buy a copy
from newsagents in the Autumn.
Fresh Direction is an online student magazine.
- TNT
-
There are also thousands of Aussies and Kiwis
living on a shoe-string in Earl's Court.
TNT is their free weekly magazine,
available on the bar at the Hand and Flower,
giving the low-down on backpackers' entertainment
all over London.
The magazine is packed with much more
up-to-the-minute information than the website.
- Lonely Planet
-
This is a book, not a regular listings guide,
but it can give newcomers a quick introduction.
Guides only on the Internet
These have comprehensive electronic guides:
And this is a mine of local statistics:
These are more limited use:
Tourist trails
These tourist guides are not really with it,
so I'd try Time Out and the Evening Standard first.
