My London Shoes activity has been a bit slack in recent weeks – and that’s down to being away on hols coupled with the uncomfortableness (if there is such  word) of traipsing around the capital via public transport during this unusually hot weather we’ve been experiencing here ‘dahn saaf’. However, last week, accompanied by my ...Read more...

Here’s a short ‘n sweet piece about a location my London Shoes visited just a few days ago – and I wanted to get it ‘out there’ promptly while the enjoyment and ‘vibe’ of it is still alive in my memory. Last Thursday (21st May) my London Shoes hopped on the tube to Sloane Square ...Read more...

In line with London Shoes criteria of publishing stuff about the lesser known and more unusual aspects of London’s places/history and people, the other day I headed off to the ‘Coal Drops Yard’ location in Kings Cross, for the specific purpose of visiting an exhibition type event, being held at a newish and unique type ...Read more...

Last week, under warm sunny skies, my London Shoes ventured  ‘Saaf’ of the River (or – the ‘Dark Side’ as I like to refer to it as) to the historic 1930’s built “Battersea Power Station”.

The “SNOOPY in the CITY” trail – ‘Fleet Street Quarter’ – London EC4 Here is yet another ‘seasonal’ blog article, to accompany the others that my London Shoes has knocked out this Christmas (2025). I know, at the time of this specific publication date, Christmas Day & Boxing Day have come and gone – but ...Read more...

This blog topic is all about London Shoes experience when visiting a recently opened museum type venue in East London – a venue that is connected to an iconic London museum institution. This Shoes article is all about the “V & A East Storehouse” that is situated in the Hackney Wick area of the Queen ...Read more...

A bit delayed publishing this one – but I wanted to get it ‘out there’ as I feel the subject matter definitely warrants its own London Shoes blog. The other week my London Shoes legged it down to a place called ‘Canada Water’ down Rotherhithe way – for the specific purpose of visiting an exhibition ...Read more...

Continuing London Shoes current trend of publishing short ‘n sweet articles (ie ‘quickies’) as a brief change from the norm,  the 2 topics being covered-off  here, fit perfectly within the London Shoes ethos of being lesser known aspects of London’s history, even though the site where they are both located, is probably one of London’s ...Read more...
