General

  • DisabledGo — Very, very detailed accessibility information.
  • Weird and Wonderful London — Yahoo group concerned with performance opportunities (poetry, live/performance art, music etc), money work for performers, cabarets, interesting events, squat parties etc etc
  • The Knowhere Guide — fairly unstructured guide to various places around the UK, including areas of London; though be aware that the recommendations may be very out of date
  • 192.com maps — very high resolution aerial photos of central London - much higher than Google Earth. You can even see people. I've been hesitating to highlight this because somehow they've got their synchronisation of their sets of aerial photos wrong: when you use the "super zoom" you find you're suddenly looking at a location fifty or so metres away. Quite annoying.
  • London Footprints — nearly a hundred walks around various parts of London, with pointers to interesting landmarks, and printable pages of background information. Their links page is also worth a look.
  • London Air Quality Network — near-current map of air quality at various points in London. Plus stats.
  • Shady Old Lady's Guide to London — You can add your own interesting London places. Includes the government's secret tunnels, Camden's catacombs, and the Lea Coppermill. Bit slow to load.
  • http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/features — Various items on events in London and in particular areas.
  • Going Underground
  • Londonist
  • Dictionary of Victorian London — wide variety of pages about life in Victorian London
