Exploring London Since 2007
Earlier this evening I nipped down to a little-known tunnel underneath Waterloo station – Leake St, which is now a disused cut-through for taxis serving the station. Made famous by Banksy who, two years ago, staged an impromptu art exhibition here with some other artists, the space is still intriguing (if a little bit scary […]
I’m glad that I’m a bit of a foodie, because here comes my second restaurant blog entry of the week. Courtesy of my friends at Qype (and TikiChris in particular) I was down in Streatham earlier this evening at Chilli Chutney.

This evening I went along to the Curtain Road branch of Pizza Express in Hoxton for a special event to mark the extension of their ‘healthy option’ Legerra range for Spring.

Instead, for today’s post, I’m reproducing something I found on Boingboing earlier today – the ‘fingerprints’ of artist Kevin Van Aelst. Kevin uses food and other everyday objects to […]
I just wanted to raise something that I need to get off my chest… As you may have noted, I’ve very recently removed the small Google ad that used to appear on the top right of the blog. Although I’ve been writing the Londoneer for quite some time, I’m still nowhere near the payment threshold […]
