Welcome to London

Welcome to a new year, and a new semester, and welcome to the LUP blog - a place where we share still more about the city, for those of you interested enough to subscribe, or visit regularly to read.

Take a look back through the archives for almost a years worth of suggestions and recommendations, and if you have ideas for questions that you'd like us to post about, let us know!

Who are we? We're the LUP staff, and below are just a handful of the things we've been writing about over the past year and a half:

Greg Kucich, program director, who's suggested a couple of key resources, appreciates the South Bank and lists Handel's Water Music as his favourite London music.

Laura Holt, deputy director, who's a fan of London's many markets , and orchestras, museums, and churches, as well as beautiful places elsewhere in the UK and beyond.

Cornelius, associate director, who has recommended a trip down to Greenwich, the White Cube gallery, and a wonderful opportunity to get free and discounted theatre tickets.

Kris Dahl, rector, who has recommended a great many places to visit, close to the London Centre, close to the flats, further afield in London, the UK, and Europe.

Ric Whaite, rector, who has some suggestions for getting off the beaten track, getting a great view of the city, getting a good deal, and getting a bus to visit some dinosaurs.

Miss Alice, librarian, who's enthused about London - everything! London books (fiction and factual), London poems, gig venues, music and dance events (as well as recommending some practical stuff).

Hal, in the LUP Office, who has recommended fencing, a guide to one of London's great cemeteries, and the beautiful New Forest.

Catherine, also in the LUP Office, who has recommended some favourite spots along the river Thames, some money-saving websites, and confessed to being terrified of a nursery rhyme.
