City Hall Big Time Disappointment

City Hall Big Time Disappointment
On Friday afternoon I popped into London’s City Hall,  which is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority for a visit. I wasn’t there in search of Mayor Boris Johnson…well not this time! I was there to take in the views from the 9th floor balcony to see for myself if they were...

Searching For The Mystical London Stone

Searching For The Mystical London Stone
Early yesterday morning I ventured forth on a mission to find the mystical London Stone. This insignificant looking lump of limestone is reputed to ensure the safety of the city of London, I kid you not! There is a ancient myth that claims the Stone’s safety is linked to the city. “So long...

Chocolate Beer At The Greenwich Union

Chocolate Beer At The Greenwich Union
Chocolate Beer…yesterday afternoon I went in search of beer, not any old beer, but Chocolate Beer. I had to travel many miles from my home in Kilburn, all the way to a bar called The Greenwich Union…I think you can guess what part of London this bar is located in! Real life, or I should say...

Mean Looking London Teenager And The Grumpy Old Man

Mean Looking London Teenager And The Grumpy Old Man
Earlier on this morning I was wandering down to Kilburn Park tube station, heading off on another secret mission…honestly I was! I had just turned onto Cambridge Avenue, when this young guy who looked around 16 or 17 years old came walking out the job centre with a couple of application forms...

Primrose Hill A Great Place To Chill Out In London

Primrose Hill A Great Place To Chill Out In London
Primrose Hill  in North West London is a wee hill and park area that is a great place to enjoy life in London when the sun is shining. After many hours wandering around Camden on Sunday I took a wee stroll up a hill that may be only 256 feet high, but I can assure you it offers some of the best views...

Amazing View From A Secret London Bridge

Amazing View From A Secret  London Bridge
A few months ago, I had a meeting at ExCel London, which is a exhibition and conference centre that is located in the Borough of Newham. Once upon at time this area of London was a thriving and huge docklands area, known as the Port of London. Which was once upon a time the largest port in the world....

Anyone for Pussy Cat Stew | London Cat Kidnappers
I hit a mental block last night during my writing session for the book I’m putting together, so off I went for a wee wander around Kilburn in search of inspiration. It was around 9.30pm and day light had turned to darkness. I didn’t have any particular route in mind, apart from that I would...

I have A Confession To Make Shhh | Please Forgive Me!

I have A Confession To Make Shhh |  Please Forgive Me!
I have a confession to make for I have sinned. My soul needs to be cleansed and I feel that  the only way I can get onto the road too redemption is by confessing my sin to my legions of readers. I suppose if I was a Catholic I could take a wee wander down to my nearest church and confess to the Priest...

Calsberg Probably Not The Best Beer In The World

Calsberg Probably Not The Best Beer In The World
I was on the Road earlier on this afternoon doing whatever it is I do for a real job, when I suddenly had the urge to have ice cold pint of beer. It was lunch time and I felt like I had earned a swift pint to help cool me down before I jumped on the Sauna back to Kilburn, I meant to say the Tube. I found...

Welcome To Hell London Canal Walk

Welcome To Hell London Canal Walk
I personally find it a wonderfully relaxing experience to walk next to water, whether it be the sea, river, loch or canal, it is a great way to chill out and rest the body, mind and soul. London may be many miles from the sea, but we of course have the River Thames and quite a few canals, which are great...
