A note from Bimble
by Bimble
It’s been a rough few weeks. With the news this weekend that the Mayor of London has declared a major incident in the capital over the rapid spread of Omicron, in the worst kind of deja-vu — it’s beginning to look a lot like … last year’s Christmas. We wanted to take a moment to check in with our community as we go into what we hope will still be a special holiday. For this week’s newsletter, we’re sharing some positive news. Catch our new films below featuring Max and Ortensia, as they show you around the great, little places in their favourite neighbourhoods. Here’s to returning to this in 2022!
At Bimble, we love neighbourhoods. Whilst the thought of being stuck at home again is pretty awful, we can all agree that one of the best things that came out of lockdown was discovering and re-discovering all of the amazing places that make up our neighbourhoods. It’s the realisation that these places and the people who visit them make up the character of where we live, and in some ways who we are. We want you to stay safe but to keep on exploring and supporting in the ways that you can — just like Max in East London and Ortensia in Angel.
Shoreditch is one of the most dynamic areas of London — a melting pot made up of people from so many different cultures and stories. Find more of what Shoreditch has to offer over on Bimble.
“The greatest thing about Bimble is that the journey into discovering new places never really ends.”
An Italian girl living in London, Ortensia’s used to hopping between London and Rome. As she bimbles around Angel, her favourite neighbourhood in the city, it’s been a huge value add to be able to save her special spots to share with friends and family.
“It allows you to save your own special memories for other people to have a look at and share.”
In the beating heart of North London, Angel is a gem for some of the best independent businesses and local flair in all of London. Just a stone’s throw from the canal taking you up to Camden and across to East London, explore this vibrant area through local eyes over on Bimble.
