Just call us “your friend in London”.

In 2013, our founder Jessica Dante moved to London from the US and quickly fell in love with exploring the city's hidden gems—cozy pubs, local restaurants, and places off the typical tourist path. Inspired by her own travels, she realized that having a“local friend”made each experience richer and thought to bring this to London visitors through her YouTube channel, Love and London. Her tips and insights resonated, and in 2017, Love and London became a full-fledged business.

Today, Love and London’s team of experts helps millions discover London like locals—from unique wine bars to hidden museums and charming boutique hotels. We’re passionate about guiding you to the real London experience and, just as importantly, steering you away from common tourist pitfalls to help you save time, money, and maximize your trip.

Jessica Dante

Jess loves London not for the big-name sights like the London Eye or Big Ben, but for the unique, everyday treasures that make the city special. She finds joy in discovering hole-in-the-wall Indian restaurants, having picnics with friends on Primrose Hill with skyline views, and sipping cocktails in cozy, dimly lit lounges. Her passion comes from the city’s blend of diverse cultures and hidden gems that only a true Londoner can uncover.

As the author of all our London Itineraries and Guides, Jess has helped over 15,000 tourists with her tried-and-tested plans. She and the Love and London team are dedicated to giving people the stress-free trip they’ve been dreaming of. ❤️
