Magpie's editors' picks

London
Creators to Watch

The creators our neighbours actually follow.

Magpie's editors picked 40 creators across London's neighbourhoods who are worth a local business's attention: people who live here, post for their neighbours, and show up week after week. Rooted here counts for more than follower count, so you will find creators with hundreds of followers on the same list as creators with hundreds of thousands.

How we picked them

Rooted here beats big here

Three things to know before you read the list.

/ 01

Rooted here

Every creator on this list lives their beat here: their neighbourhoods, their restaurants, their markets, their weekends. The content is made in London, for London.

/ 02

Local audience over follower count

What a local business is really reaching is nearby people who can walk in. A smaller creator whose crowd is here can be worth more than a giant whose crowd is everywhere else, so follower count never decided who made this list. The list below is grouped by what they do, not ranked by size: a creator with 900 neighbours who all live here matters more on this list than a million followers somewhere else.

/ 03

Checked by hand

Every name was verified from public profiles: a real person, based here in London, posting recently and consistently. If a creator goes quiet or moves away, they come off the list.
