Anglo-Russian secret relations strong as Moscow and London meet

Nikita and me in front of secretlondon's mural

We were all very excited to welcome the creator of the Secret Moscow facebook page today at secretlondon towers.

Nikita Turkin, founder of Secret Moscow came to have a chat with me about our two cities and the secrets we had discovered! We also discussed differences between the two cities and what that meant for the development of global secret cities. Currently, Nikia informed me, most Russians use a facebook rip-off called vkontakte, and although some are moving over to facebook there came the question of how Nikita could unite both groups to create a secret Moscow community.

It was really interesting to discuss the different social lives and online habits of  Moscow in comparison to London, but what was clear was an international desire for people to discover lesser known, independent places in their city, wherever they are in the world.
