Ever wondered why there are so many strange symbols in the emoji keyboard but not a set which expresses London?

Well if you have then you're in luck, as London's first set of emojis comes to the iPhone and Android market.

Smart phone users are spoiled for choice with over 100 emoticons capturing the city's iconic spots or most defining characteristics.

The app features everything from the Shard and the Orbit, to a hipster with heart eyes, an intrigued fox, a shisha pipe and craft beer.

Illustrator Ray Smith said, "The Londonmoji project has been great fun to be part of and a real challenge in its breadth of subject matter.

"I hope this set gives a real spirit of London and will enable people to add a fun, London-centric stamp to their conversations."

And what's more, they can be posted on Twitter and Facebook.

Here's our pick of the best from the selection.

What would London be without the Shoreditch style hipster beards dominating parts of east London?
