Parks & Public Squares

* the “Olympic Park” – Stratford-London E20

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 ...Read more...

* Beautiful “Green Park” – the smallest of London’s Royal Parks

The week before last, London Shoes took advantage of what was probably the last of the summer sunshine and warmth for this year – and ventured ‘up west’ to Piccadilly way, to explore “Green Park”………London’s smallest ‘Royal Park’. Of London’s 8 Royal Parks, Green Park is the smallest one – and it is unique in ...Read more...

*”Finsbury Circus” EC2 – the City of London’s oldest & largest public park

Throughout its 3.5yrs existence, there have been a number of instances where ‘London Shoes’ has (totally unintentionally) just happened to be in the right place at the right time – when something unusual, newsworthy or historically interesting has happened. Such an occasion happened last week, when ‘Shoes’ visited a long standing and notable London landmark ...Read more...

*the “Scenes in the Square” sculptures-Leicester Square & the old “Flamingo Club” in Soho

Friday was the only decent day of weather here in the ‘Smoke’ last week, and so ‘London Shoes’ took advantage of the sunshine and ventured off ‘up-west’ to Leicester Square, to check out a brand new London attraction, which was only introduced a week ago. Then following that – for the customary ‘cheeky’ beer, ‘Shoes’ ...Read more...

* The ‘Stone-Alcoves’ of old London Bridge

The most regular type of feedback London Shoes receives every week, is from people who express their surprise and concern that they have walked past a certain historic landmark that ‘Shoes’ has covered-off – hundreds/thousands of times in their lives, and yet never noticed something or never knew what it was or the history behind ...Read more...

*’Proms-in-the-Park’ – Hyde Park-London-Aug 2019

  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 ...Read more...

*The spectacular “Sky Garden” & the “Garden at 120” – of Fenchurch Street EC3

  ‘London Shoes’ doesn’t normally visit the more popular tourist attractions and landmarks of the big ‘Smoke’ – however, it made an exception this week, and ventured out to visit 2 locations, both under the same theme of ‘up on the roof’. One of these locations has been around for the past 4 years, and ...Read more...

*Legal London – & the splendours of “Lincoln’s Inn”-“Middle Temple” & “Inner Temple”

This week, me old ‘London Shoes’ sort of felt like they were being called ‘up before the beak’ and having their ‘collar felt’. The London Shoes blog published this week, goes under the title of “Legal London” – and focusses on 3 specific locations and the stacks of history behind them, and what these locations ...Read more...

Video Blog of :- “Pickering Place SW1 – London’s Smallest Public Square”

A ‘Video Blog’ of :- London’s smallest public square

Alexandra Palace (known as the ‘Ally Pally’)

     My little trek out this week, took me to a place that I had actually visited a couple of times before, but many years ago, back in my youth. Since then it has gone through a number of considerable transformations, and is today one of London’s lesser known, but still remarkable landmark. The ...Read more...
