Tripadvisor unveils Common Ground that brings together two public figures from different worlds

Tripadvisor is redefining travel storytelling with Common Ground: a bold new series that fuses travel, food, music, and conversation to uncover what connects us

UNITED KINGDOM, November 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Across three cinematic pilot episodes filmed in London’s iconic Shoreditch, Common Ground pairs some of Britain’s most recognisable personalities - from celebrity chefs to rappers, comedians, and activists - for unscripted journeys through one of the UK’s most creative districts.
The result is raw, funny, and deeply human, creating a series that explores culture through the lens of empathy, curiosity, and the simple joy of breaking bread together.

“We’re reimagining the way stories about travel are told. It’s less about distance, more about discovery. It’s a reminder that we don’t have to go far to find beauty, kindness, and common ground,” said Adam Ochman, Global Head of Tripadvisor’s creative studio, Wanderlab
Three Episodes. Endless Connection.

Monica Galetti & Daisy May Cooper
Michelin-starred chef Monica Galetti and BAFTA-winning comedian Daisy May Cooper collide in an unexpected day of laughter and honesty. From Redchurch Street to a pottery class gone delightfully wrong, the pair bond over humble beginnings, resilience, and the power of showing your cracks. Over dinner at Legado, Monica reminds us that “food is the biggest connector — it breaks walls.”

Professor Green & Jimmy Doherty
Musician and mental health advocate Professor Green invites farmer and TV host Jimmy Doherty into his Shoreditch world — from Strongroom Studios to Spitalfields City Farm. What begins as a city-meets-country chat becomes a raw conversation about sustainability, identity, and mental wellbeing. The day ends with shared reflection at Blacklock Shoreditch, proving that empathy can grow anywhere.

Big Zuu & Tilly Lockey
Chef, rapper, and TV personality Big Zuu meets motivational speaker Tilly Lockey for a walk through the heart of East London. From the Old Blue Last to Brick Lane and vegan hotspot KingCooksDaily, their day pulses with energy, gratitude, and purpose. Tilly shares her journey as a double amputee, declaring: “I wasn’t meant to be alive, so every day is something to be grateful for.” Together, they celebrate diversity, faith, and finding light in difference.
