Snow Angels London is the result of an idea to help people help each other out. Snow Angels London is an experiment in kindness: a way for Londoners to request assistance shovelling or to find others in need of such assistance. Whichever category you may fit, Snow Angels London will serve your needs.

This website was brought to fruition by the hard work and kindred spirits of Simalam, who truly are the ones who deserve all the credit.
