London Today

Connor O'Reily

Connor O'Reily made the well-worn journey from Dublin to London in his early twenties, arriving with a journalism degree and a stubborn conviction that the city would eventually make sense to him. He covers a broad range of London stories for London Today — from grassroots sports to neighbourhood politics — with the kind of genuine curiosity that comes from being an outsider who never quite stopped being fascinated by the place. Between assignments, he follows non-league football with an enthusiasm that his editors find endearing and his friends find baffling.
