Question 1

How do I meet travelers in London?

Accepted Answer

Create a free LayOverLegends profile, add London to your destinations, and browse travelers already planning trips there. Send a match request to anyone you'd like to meet up with.

Question 2

Where do travelers usually meet up in London?

Accepted Answer

Borough Market or Broadway Market for daytime, a Soho or Shoreditch pub for evenings, and South Bank for a free walk along the river. Museums are free, which makes them a good low-commitment first meetup on a wet day.

Question 3

Is London good for solo travelers?

Accepted Answer

Yes — everything is well connected by tube and night bus, and the city is used to visitors. It is also easy to feel isolated here, which is exactly why arranging a meetup or two before you land makes a difference.

Question 4

When is the best time to visit London to meet other travelers?

Accepted Answer

May to September has the longest days, outdoor pubs and the most festivals, including Notting Hill Carnival in August. December is busy with markets and lights but expensive and dark by 4pm.

Question 5

What is a good first plan with a travel buddy in London?

Accepted Answer

The Tate Modern or the British Museum, a walk over the river, then a Sunday roast in a pub in Hackney or Clapham. Total cost can be under £25 each, which keeps the pressure low.
