My name is Geoff Clements – I am a Londoner by birth, and have lived, worked and socialised in London throughout all my life, and I have a deep passion for London, its history, its customs and its people.
I retired from full-time employment in January 2017, following over 40 years’ service in the banking industry – and since then I have had time on my hands to be able to pursue my passion for ‘all things’ London, by undertaking weekly expeditions and adventures into the ‘Smoke’, exploring a specific topic or theme.
You can find out more about me along with the story behind how this website came about, and why it is called “London Shoes” – by simply opening the “About Me” tab at the top of this page, but basically this website is simply my sort of digital scrapbook for the purpose of publishing the output of my weekly expeditions and adventures whilst finding out more about London’s history and its many places of interest and its landmarks.
The ‘mechanics’ of this site are very simple, and you won’t find any difficulty navigating around it.
This is the Homepage, and then, from the menu above, you will see that there is a ‘Blog’ – and ‘About Me’ and ‘Contact Me’ sections of content.
On the right-hand side of this page you will see a ‘Recent Posts’ – which quite simply publishes the most recent trips out that I have undertaken.
Below that there is an ‘Archive’ section where you can find all of the ‘culture’ days out that I have conducted throughout the year by simply clicking/tapping on any of the months, and then a summary of each individual subject matter or theme will appear, for you to then click/tap on and read about.
My weekly ‘outings’ can also be viewed via the ‘Blog’ tab on the main menu – and, please feel free to utilise the ‘Contact Me’ tab, should you want to, as all feedback is welcomed.
I hope that you find the output of my ‘culture’ days out both enjoyable and interesting.
