St Martins in the Field

An amazing church. Great choir, great history of speaking out on issues, great example of helping local community (50? volunteers work in its basement), beautiful architecture, friendly people.

St Bartholomew the great Church

A fabulous church. Great architecture, great music, great sermons. Maybe the oldest church in London. I did a tour of London's church services and this was the king of them all for me.

Royal Opera House

The most special of nights out. At a price, but worth it. The best uk musical experience. The new bar with its enormous window is really worth seeing too.

London, United Kingdom

A treasure trove of things. For those of you who bike or walk, if your journey takes you by here set off 15 minutes earlier & drop in. All the arts & crafts from many countries & ages are represented.

Mandola's

Sudanese restaurant. Delicious food. Good value. Homely atmosphere.
Unfortunately now defunct. London couldn't cope with a Sudanese restaurant. So there's (another) Mexican one in its place.
Bollocks

Da Mario's

Local Italian. Family-run. Feels like eating in their own room. Wonderfully tacky Princess Diana Memorabilia (steps, painting, pizza name..). Their wine is foul. Memorable parties in basement, with dance floor.
