LONDON PODCASTS

This Week in London (TWiL) is a podcast about London and the places you might have already been to plus many places which you almost certainly haven't!  TWiL takes a tourist view from the locals perspective.

The host of TWiL, Paul Parkinson, was born in London and has lived in London all his life. He works in the City but travels extensively around the world. He knows the pain a tourist or business traveller can go through when arriving somewhere and hopes he can make your visit to London more rewarding, fun and informative.

Mixing in detailed pieces on places or people, music you should like but won't have heard and a few sound-seeing tours, Paul brings the locals knowledge to the visitor. Paul is passionate about London and wants to show you around his favourite city. TWiL is released every two weeks or so but Paul's day job sometimes gets in the way!

TWiL's motto, Paul says, is "What to do and what not to do; things to avoid and things to enjoy in the Greatest City on Earth" - and who are we to disagree! These podcasts take approximately a minute to download and play
