Jonny Payne

Content Lead

Jonny and Visit London go way back to 2010, when he joined as a fresh-faced intern. Stints as a news editor and travel writer followed but, soon enough, the lure of promoting his favourite city beckoned once more in 2013. He’s now Visit London’s Content Lead, overseeing a talented team curating top tips for the best things to see and do in London.

 

You’ll likely find him among piles of dishes at one of London’s exciting restaurants (Kiln in Soho being top of his list – that spice is addictive!), cheering on his beloved Arsenal (no apologies), or up in the gods at the Royal Opera House (top tip: get in quick for those bargain seats). Favourite area? Chelsea for that sense of style, Richmond and Barnes for relaxed riverside strolls and St James’s for those heritage shops all come close, but it’s hard to beat the buzz of London’s West End – there’s nothing like it.
