Tom London

Tom London was born in Johannesburg and spent his childhood in Springs. He attended junior high in the U.S.A. and completed his schooling in Jo'burg. The radio bug bit early and it was Tom's ambition to work on radio and to entertain people. After two community radio stations and jobs in commercial music radio Tom started working for 702 as an overnight presenter. He has worked in television production, managed artists and had a successful run in the hospitality industry. His home is a modest house in Kensington with wooden floors, pressed ceilings and three dogs running around. His other home is the studio and you will always find him at his happiest when he's on air with his listeners.
