Bio
The London I've been discovering is usually off the well-beaten track.I love the nooks and crannies and walking along the streets steeped in centuries worth of history. I'm fond of Zone 1 because that's where it all began centuries ago.

A Former Royal Deer Hunting Park
I've come to warm towards Hyde Park over the last few years. It wasn't my favourite go-to-park before, but I love it now. I particularly like the long stretch of walking path near the Knightsbridge end. I will likely see the King's Soldiers along North Carriage Drive in their finery as they head towards Buckingham Palace.

HIGH UP, BIG BEN
I'm getting good at refreshing the online button for hard-to-secure tickets for special events 😆. Big Ben was no exception. I remember the last time I 'queued up' online was for The Garden Picnic at Buckingham Palace. Thankfully, the wait wasn't so long for my tickets for Big Ben, which were booked two months in advance.

Princess Diana's Old Pad
Considering that London is home to seven million people, we have a lot of palaces. Kensington Palace is one of them. If I fancy a long walk, I usually start walking from Hyde Park via Kensington Gardens and eventually walk past Kensington Palace. It

The Wheel Goes Round
When the London Eye was announced, it was like, please, No. It's too 'out there' for London. We're a sensible global city, not a fairground. Someone, somewhere, thought about bringing London into the 21st Century, which is why it was called the Millennium Wheel. It was before the turn of the new dawn that it was proposed and opened in the new millennium.

All Aboard The Steam Express
I saw the Mayflower steam train as I passed through Clapham Junction a few weeks ago and looked into it. I love train journeys and have always been fascinated by trains from a bygone era. I found that you can book a trip during the summer. So I booked tickets for a trip to Windsor. It was delightful as no steam trains operate on the U.K. Train Network.

The Iconic Tower Bridge
It is often confused with London Bridge by many around the world. That Bridge is one Bridge away, but not as attractive as this one, even though London Bridge has been around in some shape or form since the 11th Century. Tower Bridge, on the other hand, is over 120 years old and still going strong. Forty thousand people use it per day. That's a lot of people. It just highlights the ingenuity of its design and strength. Also, it's an excellent bridge to cross over.

High Up In The Sky
When the Walkie-Talkie building went up, it was an OMG moment of 'not another one'. So many were beginning to spring up in the square mile, and over 30 new skyscrapers were given the green light at the turn of 2000. Everywhere you look, construction work is happening in and around the City.
