LOST iN London: A City Guide: Lost in City Guide

London is a city of contradictions. Its skyline sets spectacular modern buildings beside relics from centuries past. From Georgian houses to groundbreaking new architecture, Londoners are constantly renovating and innovating. 
 
Not too long ago, it was tricky finding more than steak and kidney pudding. Now the city boasts some of the world's finest cuisine. Immigration has played a part: waves over the decades have woven one of the most cosmopolitan metropolises. 
 
Hordes arrive in the capital on weekday mornings to work, not only in banks and law offices but also in boutiques and bars. Napoleon's vision of Britain as a nation of shopkeepers is alive and well. And the after-work pint hasn't lost its popularity. 
 
The people who choose to make a home here are a special collection of movers, shakers and culture-makers. We spoke to a couple working in set and fashion design, a multi-faceted artist, a traveling DJ and a successful label manager. Our picks are rounded out by photo showcases and in-depth stories from global and local talents. The mega- metropolis presents a dizzying cacophony of sights, smells and flavors.
 
A Michelin-starred pub, a bar beyond a blank blue door, a book club wired for massive sound, a green hill to behold the cityʼs skyline and a restaurant above the clouds... Get lost in the city for lovers of living.

LOST iN creates guides for travelers, not tourists. From street culture challenging the status quo to local favorites kept quietly out of sight, we uncover the voices, scenes and ideas championed by locals and driving the next wave of urban culture. Go beyond the obvious. Get lost in what's next.
