London Is Cool as you can see is very obviously a blog. I’m based in London and my personal ramblings are mainly about my adventures and experiences in this amazing city. So the other day for some unknown reason I wondered how well I was ranking on the master of the universe Google for the highest...

London is a city that hooks you in if you let it. Sure the place has a ton of bad points and faults. But doesn’t any city? One thing I truly love about living in the Big Smoke is the diversity of the people that make up this amazing place. There are seemingly over 300 different languages spoken...

Severe winter weather conditions in London, I’m of course having a wee laugh with you all. There hasn’t been too much snow in London, well not for a loon born and bred in the North East of Scotland. It has all been a wee bit tame if you ask me. I was loving it the other day when the snow was pelting...

As most of us are aware we are in the midst of a world recession, it is all doom and gloom. I know that  for the backpacker brigade that it cant be easy, especially for those who are working there way around the world. I have heard through the grapevine, how hard it is to get even a minimum wage crap...

It said, “pull over to the bank on your right and do it now”. I thought WTF is happening, have those Yanks that were confused over the names of...

Famous fictitious London residents, I know with this article I’m going to shatter the dreams of many people, especially my American friends. It may come as a huge shock to some people that some of London’s most famous residents are nothing more than the imagination of a very talented writer. It may...

I have written about the subject of property rental scammers on numerous occasions. It however seems that some  people are still not paying attention to my words of wisdom. Or the only other thing, which I can think of is that some people like to be scammed. Last week the misery, which is caused by...

Why I came to London to live is a question, which I have been asked a few times by my new found fellow vagabond London friends. Everyone it seems has a reason for being here, work brought some here, others the opportunity to study and of course love brought one poor soul to the big city. So how come...

I have written a few articles on the subject of property rental scammers, cheats, con men, crooks or whatever you want to call those people that try to trick people into parting with their money for accommodation that doesn’t exist. I will list my articles at the end of today’s article and if you...
