AJ Odudu in Regent's Park
The indefatigable queen of prime time telly, AJ Odudu, takes editor Joe around her beloved Regent’s Park.

Customer Reviews
SO GOOD
A joyous blend of casual, cerebral, and silly. The Phil Wang episode is a standout.
Entertaining
Very diverse dive into ALL parts of London, some great tips especially pubs.
Loving Love Thy Neighbourhood
Time Out’s podcast Love Thy Neighbourhood is like the best kind of Londoner: funny, knowledgeable without being a smug prat about it, and absolutely able to point you to the best pub in the area at short notice. Guests are great too: nice mix of household names and interesting trailblazers. If you love the idea of listening to a famous Londoner getting personal about their fave bit of the city, hot new spots and having fun chats, it's basically an Oyster Card for your ears.
