With winter finally showing up, it’s a good time to share our favourite ways to experience London without leaving the warmth and comfort of your home! So, make one last trip out for a hot chocolate and get ready to stay put!
📻 Listen Up
Weaving a thread of innovation through episodes covering medicine, social enterprise, and cryptocurrency, Towards London podcast’s first season offered a great glimpse into this city over it’s 10 episodes. We can’t wait for season 2. Looking for something a bit more random? Prefer huddling around the family radio? Tune in to Radio Western (94.9 FM) and enjoy the “the cure for corporate radio” they’ve promised since hitting the airwaves in the 80’s.
📀 Put on a Digital Video Disc™
Sure, you can stream almost anything these days, but there’s something special about kicking it old school with a Digital Video Disc (DVD™) from the Library. Looking for a London connection? Spend your Saturday in detention with The Breakfast Club—which features London-born John Kapelos as Carl the custodian.
🍽️ Dine In
Put down that take-out menu, invite a few friends over and enjoy a meal from any one of these chefs and restaurants who also offer in-home catering!
✌️ Take it Leisurely
With a mix of local business features and live musical performances, Life of Leisure’s YouTube channel is an easy way to spend an evening travelling around the city without leaving your couch.
