Exploring London Since 2007
Well we’re back from Brussels. I don’t know why people say that it’s a boring destination – we were there for four days and didn’t get to see everything we wanted to see. There are as many museums as there are in London, restaurants and chocolate shops everywhere, and lovely little ‘estaminets’ that serve traditional […]
Well there’ll be no blogposts for a few days because I’m off to Brussels for ‘le weekend’. The BBC weather report says sleet and snow are predicted with a minimum temperature of -6C on Saturday night, so there’ll be a lot of nipping in and out of warm little bars I’m sure. There’ll be some […]
I was invited by Annie Mole of the London Underground blog to be part of the team of London bloggers, “The London Pigeon Collective”, at TimeOut’s “So you think you know London?” pub quiz, which took place @ ULU last night.

On Wednesday evening I went with a few friends to the “London Drinker Beer & Cider Festival 2008“, held at the Camden Centre just behind Camden Town Hall (which isn’t really in Camden proper – its on the opposite site of the street from the rather grand St Pancras Station on Euston Road). I should […]
Last night I went to the “Cooling the Tube” talk by Kevin Payne, director of the engineering programme at TfL, which took place at the Building Centre on Store St as part of their exhibition that runs until April 19, “Underground – London’s Hidden Infrastructure”. If you go during the day you can look around […]
