I’ve been going to the world famous Abbey Road Studios since 2013 as part of my Music of London Rock and Pop Tour and more recently also as the starting point on my Beatles Tour of London with my tour company Ye Olde England Tours. I’ve given more than a few tours to not just famous musicians… Continue reading Inside Abbey Road Studios and tickling the ivories of John Lennon’s piano

Why the Cop26 summit is just a load of hot air
Though I’m sure some of the world leaders want to at least pretend to care about the environment (not all even want to even pretend) it seems clear that on the whole most of them couldn’t care less. If they really cared then they would already have made the necessary changes. Incredible things can happen… Continue reading Why the Cop26 summit is just a load of hot air
My new Last Night In Soho Walking Tour
On Monday I posted a film review on Last Night In Soho which I watched when it came out on Friday. Having been busy on Saturday I had mused over the possibility of creating a special themed tour much as I do for several other famous shows such as Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes, James Bond… Continue reading My new Last Night In Soho Walking Tour
I’m on UK national Talk Radio tonight at 9.30pm
I just found out that I’ve been invited to appear just after the news. We will be talking about Knocker-Uppers which isn’t as kinky as it might sound. You can listen on the radio, DAB or online. If you’re a little visually impaired like myself then you can also watch it on their live-stream. If… Continue reading I’m on UK national Talk Radio tonight at 9.30pm
Last Night In Soho Movie Review
I have been waiting for this film for a year or so but it has been long delayed due to Covid. I really liked the look of it from the trailers and though those elements are very enticing and didn’t disappoint, the actual film is so much better. I’ve written before how I often experienced… Continue reading Last Night In Soho Movie Review
Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!
I’d just like to say thank-you for all the messages and emails I’ve received this last few weeks and with any luck I can say I just about made it through Covid 19. I still have the famous Covid cough from the dreaded Delta variant and I still have no appetite or sense of taste… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 80 – I’ve survived Covid19!
Behind the scenes with No Time To Die – James Bond
As I mentioned in my No Time To Die film review post, I do a James Bond Tour in London and whilst I was meeting tourists for a Winston Churchill and War Rooms Walking Tour, I noticed that the street their hotel was in was closed off on Google Maps. It’s a street I know… Continue reading Behind the scenes with No Time To Die – James Bond
Coronavirus Diary 79 – I have Covid 19 :-(
Morning everyone, I hope all is well. I’ve been quiet but not away. Some of you may have noticed that my 9 year streak of posting at least twice a week has recently been broken. This won’t be my longest post ever which I am sure will be a relief to everyone. After my close… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 79 – I have Covid 19 😦
The Englishman who invented an American fast-food icon
Everyone loves a hotdog don’t they? I know I used to eat a lot of them though I’ve not had any for about 20 years, partly that’s because it is hard to get gluten free hotdog bread rolls and partly as I prefer actual sausages in bread rolls. Nevertheless, hotdogs can be a fast and… Continue reading The Englishman who invented an American fast-food icon
Following a fox around St Pauls Cathedral
I’ve written several times in recent years on the green nature of London and even how it is the worlds first National Park City. I have a best-selling book in the shape of Secret Gardens of the City of London as well as various tours on those same gardens, canals, rivers and woods. Earlier this… Continue reading Following a fox around St Pauls Cathedral
