Some Reviews of LLO (Thanks!):

"This is a blog that uncovers the side of London that many visitors and city-dwellers don’t get to see. We love her articles about Londoners, highlighting the vibrant and dynamic nature of our city. LLO shows us the best of London, under the surface. Alongside reviews, this blog is bursting with interviews with Londoners, snippets of London culture and a glimpse of the unusual."

"Stephanie is an ex-pat New Yorker and Little London Observationist is her blog about the “little things” in London; reviews on eateries, sharing her own photography, highlighting street art and listing her favourite places. I love the Listen to a Londoner posts, they’re an original and interesting idea: gaining a different perspective of the city to your own is a great way to learn about the cultural melting pot."

"Stephanie has been living in London since 2007. Her witty insights into London, interviews with interesting Londoners and reviews of restaurants, shops and bars make for a great read and really show what a fascinating, diverse and inspiring city London can be."
