Getting into the nooks and crannies of London

Walking is my my favourite way of getting around this city. Its the best way to explore. To have a look up here and a glimpse down there. And you can stop off in one of London’s 7,000 pubs to break the journey with a clear conscience.

Something catches my eye as I wander around and I take a photo. Or I discover something I didn’t previously know. This blog is where I post the pictures and write down the things that I find interesting. Its a form of scrap book really.

Hopefully you will find something of interest. It might even lead to you going to have a look for yourself. That would be great. But don’t forget the pubs. They need your trade.

Clog dancing in N1

I took the Northern line up to Islington to see a couple of Northern girls sing and (occasionally) clog dance: The Unthanks. The old chapel sounded wonderful as…

Telling tales: a proper London night out in N1

My evening began appropriately enough sitting in a pub, pint in hand listening to a man “banging on”. Arriving early for the latest True Stories Told Live I…
