This week’s ‘London Shoes’ publication comes in 2 parts. The first part begins on the ‘Becontree Estate’ in Dagenham, and the second part ends in an old converted granary barn in the rural wilds of Cambridgeshire. The theme of this blog focusses on a specific aspect of the subject matters life – and this person
Those that follow ‘London Shoes’ well will fully aware that I am a biiiiiiig fan & a season ticket holder of “West Ham United FC”. Therefore I was extremely chuffed to unexpectedly receive a letter in the post the other day, from long serving club captain Mark Noble, inviting me to a special event entitled
Two weeks ago ‘London Shoes’ published a music related blog on ‘Jazz at the Movies’ that was performed at “The ‘Other’ Palace Theatre” – and a bit like when you’re waiting at a bus stop, it just so happened that, (totally unplanned), 2 ‘music’ related blog opportunities have cropped-up alongside each other.

Although the weather on my chosen day out was really lousy, and certainly not conducive to wandering London’s streets –
It could be said that the London Shoes topic this week caused a bit of a ‘stink’. Undertaking this particular task had me thrashing the life out of me faithful old free-travel ‘60+Oyster Card’ and also caused me to wear away a bit more of the soles of my actual (London) ‘shoes’ – as I
Last week’s London Shoes jaunt to the ‘smoke’ took me out west to a district of London that has always intrigued me, probably because of its bohemian and hippie notoriety when I was an impressionable teenager in the late 1960’s & early 70’s. For this trip out I was privileged to be accompanied by my
Yesterday evening (02/03/2019) saw a special day in the history of my beloved football team West Ham Untied – when one of the stands in its London Stadium home, was officially named after one of the clubs greatest ever, and much loved and respected players – who holds the club record for appearances – the
