LondonTown


My previous staff job saw me cover a variety of events in London for one of the capital's top websites, LondonTown.com. I wrote about classical music, live gigs, comedy, sport, nightlife and bars/restaurants. My daily London blog was called The Lowe Down while I also produced a monthly "Nelson's Column" about various topical events and happenings around town. I continue to work for LondonTown, writing a series of articles, helping out with the Year Ahead magazine and editing the site's London 2012 Olympics pages. Here is a selection of links.
