A guide to living
in the British capital
OUR
LONDON
Immigrants from the countries of the former Soviet Union grabbed a huge piece of life in the British capital. Even in the local press, London is often called Londontown. It is a city within a city, a state within a state, existing alongside and in parallel with traditional English institutions.
ZIMA Magazine for the first time opens Londongrad in all its cozy splendor and presents a unique guide to Russian-speaking London. All addresses, locations and passwords where our person will feel good, where he is expected and appreciated, are revealed by local old-timers - Seva Novgorodtsev, Zinovy Zinik, Masha Slonim, Boris Akunin, Boris Grebenshchikov, Alexey Zimin, Evgeny Chichvarkin, Natalya Osipova.
On the pages of the guide, they share the most intimate things - from the phone number of the best Russian-speaking plumber to the most cozy shop in the Barbican.

I really like London. I believe that in terms of overall points this is the best city on the planet. Well, that is, somewhere it’s more beautiful, somewhere the climate is better, somewhere it’s closer, but in general – London comes first. There is some right balance between humanity and privacy, liveliness and politeness... A lot of interesting things happen. Culturally interesting.
I would say that in a cultural sense, London is the third most important “Russian” city in the world, after Moscow and St. Petersburg.

— a logical continuation of the previous special issue of the magazine
ZIMA
"Our London", which I saw
light at the end of 2020. Three months after its release, most of the "best" places in the UK
capital, which we carefully and lovingly collected in Our London, were closed for quarantine. But that is not at all
prevented it from selling well.
This success inspired us to expand beyond Greater London. This is how Our Britain was born. — the first ever guide to the United Kingdom, compiled by people who have long and interestingly lived in Manchester, Oxford, Leeds, Edinburgh and other blessed places. The result is a voluminous book about how to enjoy life and travel in one of the most remarkable countries in the world.
We definitely enjoyed it. Now you.
