The Top 20 Travel Blogs in London in 2020
After extensive research, we’re proud to announce the 20 best blogs you can find for traveling to London in 2020!
The selection process…
Traveling is about experiencing the best of what a new city can offer, and a great place to find inspiration is in blogs. However, it can be a jungle to navigate through the many blogs and content you can find online. Therefore, our team has scoured the internet looking for the best travel blogs in London.
The 20 blogs that have made the final list have been selected based on 4 criteria:
- Quality of the content
- The practicality of the tips and advice
- Purpose of the blog
- Originality
In this award, you will find talented photographers, skilled writers, wanderlust addicts, foodies, family travelers, and eco-friendly travelers. Additionally, it is necessary to mention that some websites awarded are not, strictly speaking, travel blogs. However, in every case, the usefulness of their tips or their great content have convinced us to include them.
All 20 blogs have made it as “Best 20 Travel Blogs,” meaning the order is random.
We would like to congratulate all the bloggers that made the Top 20 – thanks for their awesome work!
The nominated bloggers are more than welcome to put the badge on their website to share their nomination with their own readers!
