Hello, I'm Vanessa, creator of JapaneseLondon.com. 

Love Japan? 

Live in London? 

This site is for you!

I spent three terrific years in Tochigi-shi teaching on the JET Programme.  I now live in sunny Wimbledon with the wonderful Peruvian husband I just so happened to find in a salsa club in Japan. 

I tutor Japanese students in English, enjoy public speaking, write, and hang out with JETAA.  Let's meet up soon!

Why JapaneseLondon.com?

The mission:  Create community.  Connect.  Communicate.

When I returned to London after having lived in Japan for three years, I didn't want to just leave Japan behind me.  I chose to live here in London, but I still needed to connect with Japanese culture, meet Japanese friends, and to keep up my Japanese language skills.

And so began my search for 'Japanese London'.  Since I started my research in 2005 I have scoured thousands of magazines, newspapers, brochures, websites and books.  I've found exciting events, fascinating people, and above all:  a thriving, vibrant international community here in London.
