As part of my wanderings around the Old Royal Naval College last week I popped into The Chapel of St Peter and St Paul, which sits directly opposite The Painted Hall. I may not be a religious bible bashing church goer, but I do experience a feeling of calmness and peace when I spend some time in a church. What...

Guildhall Art Gallery and Roman London’s Amphitheatre is a real treasure trove of a place that I visited  last week. I must be honest and say the reason I went there was to have a wee peek at the Roman Amphitheatre, looking at dusty old paintings just doesn’t do anything for me…they...

The Painted Hall, which is part of the Old Royal Navel College at Greenwich has been described as the finest dinning room in Europe. And having visited the place for the first time last week, it sure is an impressive building, both externally and especially the walls and the roof inside. On numerous...

The Greenwich Foot Tunnel is neat little pedestrian crossing that sits 50 feet below the dark murky waters of the River Thames. This tunnel is 1,217 feet long and takes less than 15 minutes to walk from one side to the other if you go kinda slow. And the views from the other side are well worth the wee...

London Is Cool, the blog that is loved by Londoners, tourists, cool people and even a few cellar dwellers I have got an amazing competition for you to try your hand at. I’m offering you the chance to win a Merlin Annual Pass. Does that sound good or does that sound good. The Merlin Annual Pass...

How does free entry to The London Dungeon Sound to you? Having recently been to the Dungeon I personally know much of a fun experience this hideously frightening attraction provides. If you are quick off the mark and don’t mind a wee bit of queuing you can be enjoying it all for free. To celebrate...

On Saturday afternoon I had a list of things to do, on my be a tourist in London day. First up was the excellent guided tour of the Bank of England, where I was casing out the joint for my one man bank job. Next up was The Monument, which offers some amazing views of London for only 3 quid. I wanted...

The Bank of England were having an open day on Saturday, which I thought would make for an interesting tour. I was going to get there bright and early. As the saying goes the early bird catches the worm, but it was the weekend and who wants to get up at the crack of dawn. I came out of Bank Station...

I must admit I’m not much of a culture vulture. However on a boring miserable day, I do very occasionally drag myself along to one of London’s many fine galleries and museums. They are generally, just not really my cup of tea – looking at old pictures of ugly people and ancient artefacts...

Cleopatra’s Needle is an ancient looking Egyptian obelisk that can be found on the banks of the River Thames, on the Victoria Embankment in London to be precise. I have walked past it many times – as well as eyeballing this ancient lookng lump of granite every time I cross over the nearby...

Madame Tussauds is a London Tourist attraction that I first visited when I was 13 years old, which is such a long, long time ago. I can still remember being gob smacked by how realistic those wax figurines looked. They looked so real, too real…I can even remember poking a few of those famous faces,...
