Today is Easter Monday and though I’m working as I have done every day so far this year, it seems like an apt time to make this post considering the time of year.

Walking Londons Canals at Camden Lock
For our next stage of walking the canals of London we leave behind the picturesque Primrose Hill and Regents Park and continue east towards the a part of London that couldn’t be more different, Camden Lock Market. As we get underway though take a look at the photo below. Does it look a little strange… Continue reading Walking Londons Canals at Camden Lock
New Year Musings and Thankyous
I hope you’ve all had a Happy New Year and Christmas period for those who celebrate it. Did anyone do any First Footing at New Year? This is the beginning of my 7th year of blogging and I’ve written before on how I’m not much of a believer of New Year Resolutions or indeed New… Continue reading New Year Musings and Thankyous
London – The first National Park City in the World
One way or the other, London is famous for many things. Whether it be History, finance, empire, culture or just the weather.

The London fences made from stretchers
Famously many of the iron and steel railings in the U.K. were removed and melted down to help the war effort in WW2. Whether a large city park or a private residence, chances are if there was a traditional style railing or gate then it would have been melted down and recycled into things like… Continue reading The London fences made from stretchers
Crossing The River Thames By Cable Car
Sometimes when I am running tours, I get to do new things even in my home city. Of course, that isn’t too hard when you live in London as not only is there a 2,000 year old back catalogue of things to do and see but there are new attractions cropping up by the day,… Continue reading Crossing The River Thames By Cable Car
Waking up early for success
I don’t know about you but I have always been an early bird. Even when I was little, I was up by 6am and today if I make it to 6am then it is a great lay-in. For some reason I just wake up even if I am really tired. I’ve never been woken up by… Continue reading Waking up early for success
