Whilst writing my blog on Bloomsbury recently and following a day spent exploring every single street that I could happen upon, I became intrigued by a man who was once known as ‘The wickedest man in the world’. This is quite some going for a man who lived whilst Stalin and Hitler were going strong.… Continue reading Aleister Crowley – The Wickedest Man In The World

Westminster Terror Attack
A terrorist attack has taken place in London, England near the Houses of Parliament and Westminster bridge. Several people have been injured. At least four fatalities and 20 catastrophic injuries. Just a quick update as I have had a few people message asking me if I am ok. I was actually in that area this… Continue reading Westminster Terror Attack
Bloomsbury – The Literary Heart of London
Bloomsbury is one of my very favourite parts of London. I’m a little biased as I spent four years studying at SOAS, a college in the University of London during the 1990’s and in recent years have been spending quite a lot of time doing guided tours such as my Sherlock Walk or my Bloomsbury… Continue reading Bloomsbury – The Literary Heart of London
The Knights of St. John found in London
My last post was all about the Knights Templars and the re-discovery of a possible long-lost religious centre in caves beneath Shropshire. In passing, I mentioned the Knights of St. John or the Knights Hospitaliers. Unlike the unfortunate Templars, the Hospitaliers are still very much alive and kicking in Malta but whilst planning out a new walking tour… Continue reading The Knights of St. John found in London
Caynton Caves and the Knights Templars
I don’t know about you but sometimes when I am walking in the country and come across small holes, I wonder what might be down there. Maybe the home of foxes, rabbits or badgers but I must admit I never imagined that any of them might be hiding such a secret as one such hole… Continue reading Caynton Caves and the Knights Templars

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was going to create a few Youtube videos on two channels broadly related to my blogs and tours and writing and… Continue reading Great Fires Of London & those who fought them
The Terrible Tale of Ælfheah – Archbishop of Canterbury
Being the Archbishop of Canterbury is probably not the easiest job in the world. You might have a nice palace in London and an entourage of officials around you but there is no doubt lots of travelling, meetings to have and near constant flak from big business, the media, government and the population at large.… Continue reading The Terrible Tale of Ælfheah – Archbishop of Canterbury
The Ædifying use of Æ
No, I haven’t been holding down random keys on my keyboard when writing the title of this post though I dare say that it might be the only published article anywhere on the internet today that features Æ.Whilst writing an upcoming blog post, I realised that it contained an awful lot of these things “Æ”.… Continue reading The Ædifying use of Æ
Olio – The Food Recycling App #zerofoodwaste
Every now and then the internet actually comes up with something undeniably good and helpful, maybe something that would actually be impossible before the 1990’s rather than just being another channel for selling you junk that you don’t need. I still think Airbnb is probably the best idea ever realised on the Internet, a true… Continue reading Olio – The Food Recycling App #zerofoodwaste
