This particular London Shoes blog is rather special – as it is certainly one of the most enjoyable and interesting of the 300+ blogs I’ve published on the London Shoes website (& Facebook page) to date. As any follower or reader of London Shoes work will know, all my blog postings are accompanied by literally
Last week (pre-the easing of Covid restrictions on 12th April) London Shoes decided to hop on a train and venture out to a destination a bit further afield, than those I had visited the past few months – and so I boarded a Piccadilly Line tube to Russell Square tube station in the Bloomsbury WC1
It’s fair to say that, because of the Covid19 restrictions throughout the past 12 months, London Shoes hasn’t always been able to keep up its usual strike-rate of undertaking and publishing 1 new blog per week, as it has done since Feb 2017 – however, with the forthcoming potential relaxation of Covid restrictions throughout this
This week’s London Shoes blog activity saw Shoes’ continuing to adhere to the Government’s Covid19 non-essential travel directive, by selecting a ‘local’ subject matter, that is within walking distance of my home-base. The topic in question is all about a place where I have spent many a brilliant night out over the years, and it
The first official London Shoes trek out for this year, was conducted in full compliance of the current Covid restrictions – as the subject matter is a ‘local’ topic which I was able to walk too, as part of my daily exercise routine – and what a nostalgic & beautifully sunny day it was. I
With the UK Government’s Covid19 current ‘lockdown’ restrictions, rules and regulations still in place, and ‘non-essential’ travel still (quite rightly) not being encouraged – London Shoes is unfortunately still unable to get out there ‘on-the-road’ to undertake and produce any new topic material for 2021. However – as with the previous and initial Shoes post for
With the UK Government’s Covid19 current restrictions, rules and regulations in place – ‘non-essential’ travel is not encouraged – as a result, London Shoes is unable to get out ‘on-the-road’ to start this new year of 2021, with a brand new blog topic. However – all is not lost, as just before the ‘lockdown’ instigated
At the end of any year, it’s often customary to take a look back of where you’ve come from and where you’ve got to – and my little ‘London Shoes’ initiative is no exception to that approach. It goes without saying that 2020 has most probably been the most challenging year ever for everyone –
For last week’s jaunt out, London Shoes travelled to the Whitechapel/Mile End district deep in the heart of London’s east-end. It’s an area of London that I know well and have very fond memories of, having worked at the Barclays Bank-Whitechapel branch for a couple of years in the late 1980’s – a branch with
Not essential travel I know, but this week London Shoes decided to take a short 10min bus ride from its Romford base to the neighbouring town of Upminster, for the purpose of witnessing a unique event, that you certainly don’t see happen everyday on a street of a London borough. The town of Upminster is
