A middle-aged Londoner is a hybrid blog/magazine by, and for, people approaching and in their middle-ages (you can self-define that one but we say rising 40 and on).

We shine a light on the people, places, and things that make life interesting and full of beauty.

Expect reviews, recipes, interviews, tips and tricks and How Tos, things to do and places to go and more - a veritable source book for those of us who are intent on living life well and who know that we are no less incredible and vibrant than when we were a few years younger. We are still us. We eschew “anti-ageing” and '“diets” and celebrate just getting on an living your best life.

We’re a space that celebrates our multi-faceted, diverse brilliance. Issuing a gentle call to action, an encouragement to live life passionately.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve got a bit of disposable income but, you know… you still have a mortgage (rent) and bills to pay. We don’t want our pages to encourage you to go into debt so we’ll try to keep things accessible - with the odd flight of fancy here and there for inspo.

Written and edited by Susie (an ex-music industry, ex-hand knitting market stall holder and current recipe writing, London loving, supper club host) with regular guest contributors.

We’re building a community here and we’d love you to join us.

Welcome home.
