If you’re preparing for a big move to the UK capital of London, you have an exciting journey ahead of you. Every single year between 2014 and 2019, more than 200,000 people moved to London, making it one of the most popular global hubs for international workers and thrill seekers in the world.
No matter where you are from or what you want to do, London has what you need to make you feel at home. More than 300 languages are spoken in the city, while virtually every nationality, faith group, and subculture you can think of has a vibrant community in the city.
Nonetheless, your move will be easier if you have some simple tools to help you adjust to life in London. With that in mind, here are the essential Android apps to download before you go.
Whether you are moving to London for work, study, or play, it is the perfect opportunity to master your English skills. The working language across all industries and sectors in London is English, meaning that a strong grasp of the language is essential to get ahead in your career. For this, you can use a language app, which offers instant, on-the-go tutoring from real native speakers. They can help you master conversational English and sound like a native in no time.
Once upon a time, London was not known to be a particularly cycle-friendly city, at least not on the same level as, say Copenhagen, Berlin, or Amsterdam. However, the London Transport Authority has been on its most ambitious bike path-building spree ever, adding 450km of new bike lanes throughout the city in the past two years alone. In order to make the most out of this fabulous new infrastructure, you should download the Santander Cycle app, which allows you to very cheaply rent a city bike from 750 docking stations across London.
We all know that a night out in London can be punishingly expensive. However, with the right software on your phone, you can hit the town without spending a penny. This is the logic behind the hugely popular Dusk app (formerly Drinki), which leverages its relationships with hundreds of bars and venues across the city to provide free drinks every single night. The app has something of a cult following in the city, with some users going to the absolute limit to see how many freebies they can get through the app.
There are many apps you can use to navigate the vast reaches of London’s 1572 square kilometer urban area. However, the only one that consistently compiles all of the information and transport ticketings that you need in one place is Citymapper, a UK app that is completely free to use. It is way more reliable than Google Maps and can tell you exactly how to get from A to B the quickest, while also providing up-to-date information on delays and roadworks so that you are never caught off guard.
Some London snobs will scoff at the idea of using Time Out to stay on top of all of the hip happenings and cultural events in the city, but it should not be overlooked. The quintessential guide to urban exploration might be mainstream, but it is also incredibly comprehensive. The sprawling Time Out London app is all you need to stay on top of all of the events, parties, and openings that will interest you, so download it if you never want to be bored in the city again.
With these apps on your Android phone, your London adventure will get off to the smoothest possible start. Download them today.

Humans are masters at communication, be it the spoken word or a silent look. Chatting with friends, loved ones, and co-workers happens on a variety of levels, some verbal and some non-verbal.
As the business world continues to expand globally, and countries seem to draw closer, communication is more important than ever. And while English, Spanish, and French are the languages that one often thinks of, there’s another equally important one to consider: American Sign Language.
Although you might not know anyone who uses ASL to communicate, you could one day down the road. A new friend, co-worker, or business associate could come into your life and being able to talk with them could present a challenge at first. That is, of course, if you don’t understand how to use ASL.
If you’ve ever considered learning how to speak in sign language, now’s your chance. We have a 16-course bundle in the AG Deals Store dedicated to learning American Sign Language, and right now it’s just $34.99.
Over more than 1,763 lessons you’ll come to understand ABCs, common words and everyday phrases, and much more.
Led by experienced instructors with nearly perfect ratings, students will become comfortable signing through ASL. Each of the courses is designed with beginners and experienced signers in mind and feature easy-to-follow lesson plans. Informative, fun, and incredibly valuable, these are tools you’ll have for the rest of your life.
Save big on the 11-course 2022 All-in-One American Sign Language Bundle, just $35.99 in the AG Deals Store, barely three bucks per course!
