Londonist launches

Rob Hinchcliffe and Euan Mitchell, the chaps behind the Big Smoker (which won the design category in last year's Guardian Unlimited weblog awards), have relaunched their blog as Londonist.

Hinchliffe emailed me to say: "Over the past few months we've been working with the people behind Gothamist (the everything-NY blog) to develop what we hope will be the biggest and best local London site ... Londonist will be the first international site in the chain, and we're hoping for some big things."

It's no surprise that the Big Smoker's clean design is emulated on Hinchliffe and Mitchell's new project: so far, the content is spot on, too: you don't have to live in London to enjoy it, but it helps.

Update: I've now added Londonist to our weblog guide, which is our extended blogroll of favourite sites.
