London social media accounts

If you enjoyed this, please like or share. Thank you!

Whether you’re a Londoner, or a London visitor, or even simply somebody who’s in love with London, this article will highlight some London centred social media accounts you might want to follow, for information, entertainment or armchair travelling. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Instagram – take your pick!

Some of these accounts are on the practical side, while others are more inspirational. Some will be of use to residents and visitors alike; others are more specific to locals. A couple of those social media accounts cover the whole of the UK, but most are London specific.

I’ve organized this list of London social media accounts in several categories, so you can quickly find the one that’s most relevant to your needs. So there are accounts covering London news, London local government, London transport, exploring London, travelling to and from London, and accessible London.

This could have been a longer list: I could have included all the London museums, for example. Well, maybe next time…

Metro

Metro’s coverage is actually nationwide, but the website can be made London specific.

The inclusion of TfL (Transport for London) on this list is a bit of a no-brainer, of course. National Rail Enquiries are nationwide, but with so many local trains in London, the site is an essential resource.

Special mention to London Underground Status, an individual automated Twitter account that tells you about disruptions on the TfL network (https://twitter.com/tflstatusnow) from data provided by the TfL site.

Visit London

London’s tourism office. Probably best for visitors, but who’s to say Londoners can’t be tourists in their own city?

The Royal Parks

The Royal Parks are eight London parks with links to royalty, one way or another (hunting grounds, personal gardens, that sort of thing). Regent’s Park, Hyde Park, Richmond Park… they are some of the largest, and best known, London parks, loved by locals and visitors alike.

The London Museum (formerly the Museum of London)

So the Museum of London closed the doors at its main site last December, and the new museum – rebranded the London Museum – will not open until 2026, but you can still follow on all the usual platforms.

One train company and 6 airports. Because getting in (and out) of London is important.

A useful account for accessible London

Nationwide, but you can search by location. Also, for transport accessibility, check the TfL website (see above).

OK, so you might not care… But if you do, both the office of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly (London’s ruling bodies) have social media accounts you can follow (and sessions you can attend).
