Kilburn in North West London is the area of London I call home…it is what I would call a little bit rough around the edges. There is always something happening round here, some of which is good and some not so good. Shop lifting, breaking shop windows and busting into cars seems to be a popular...

Paddington Old Graveyard is somewhere I head to when I need a place to relax and unwind. It is quite possible the most relaxing place in all of London. It never gets over run with people and the next time I see a tourist in there will be the first time. And long may it continue… I haven’t...

Living in London you can’t help but notice the huge amount of graffiti that is all over the place. Everywhere you look you are likely to come across some masterpiece in the eyes of some and just pure vandalism in they eyes of others…I wish somebody would go and spray some graffiti on the...

For once the weather forecasters have managed to predict something correctly for a change…That truly is a miracle. There is a first time for everything I suppose…! The heatwave that London was promised really has arrived. The past few days the weather truly has been fantastic. Instead of...

I had just finished my morning stroll earlier on today, when I stumbled upon a spectacle that I have often heard about but never actually witnessed for myself. I slowed down as I approached, I thought about turning around and going back the way I had come…It was a scary, scary sight. But being...

I woke up this morning suffering from amnesia. I had something important to do today and for the life of me I cant remember WHAT. I have been racking my brains for hours trying to figure out what I had to do or where I was meant to be. One Scotsman in London, One question. A very simple question, WTF...

I’m putting my feet up and taking things real easy this weekend. Which means no work, no exercise and basically doing as little as possible. Sometimes in life it is good to do absolutely nowt. How dull would life be if all we did was work ourself into an early grave. I have worked real hard this...

Regular visitors to London Is Cool will be more than aware that this blog covers a wide range of topics about life in the city of cool and life in general.
