Last Saturday the 14th September, I had the pleasure of experiencing my very first ‘Proms-in-the-Park’ event at Hyde Park here in London – and I have to say that surprisingly, I found myself enjoying it much more than I had initially expected. The ‘Proms’ event itself is a globally recognised annual musical event, that
A slight deviation of subject matter this week saw ‘London Shoes’ venture into the sporting world, to focus on the topic of ‘Boxing’. This particular blog started life as being just about famous ‘east-end’ boxing legends – but as my research on the topic progressed, I expanded the subject matter to include some of the
There are many categories listed within the London Shoes website, all of which accommodate the many different aspects of the more ‘unusual’ stuff that London Shoes blogs. One such ‘Shoes’ category is entitled ‘Quirky’ and contains all the ‘off-the-wall’ and away from the ‘norm’ topics, published. The subject matter for this week’s venture down to the ‘Smoke’,
Saw this ‘quirky’ one the other day whilst visiting Kensington Palace, and it made me larf 😆 Have you ever felt like your job is getting on top of you – you’re surrounded by ‘work’ and cant see a way out of it – then spare a thought for this poor fella 😂 In the

Last week saw ‘London Shoes’ make two trips out to the big bad ‘smoke’ – the first being the already covered-off visit to the famous ‘Groucho Club’ – the second, on the following evening, was spookily to the very same street in Soho, and a location that was once of the very first
This week’s ‘London Shoes’ trek out, was a little bit different from the ‘norm’ – as it was all about having ‘lunch’ at an excusive world renowned private members club, deep in the heart of London’s Soho district – a far cry from the ‘Egg, Bacon, Beans & a Fried Slice’ that London Shoes
This week’s ‘London Shoes’ escapade had a touch of irony about it as the actual location visited is only a few hundred yards away from where I used to work in Canary Wharf – and yet, in all the 15 or so years that I worked there, I had never ever ventured anywhere near the
This week ‘London Shoes’ made a welcomed return to the topic of ‘live-music’ – and to an event that required a trek out to a basement jazz venue in deepest darkest Chelsea. The venue for this ‘gig’ was the extremely popular and charismatic “606 Club” in Lots Road–Chelsea-London SW11, and the reason for journeying all
