Everything London

The addictive 'Look for Longer' is back... Seriously it's so addictive and brilliant way to look at the London Underground. Find it here  It can take days and weeks to figure them all out, and this year they have the 100 club, when you've got all 100 you appear on the wall, I did it with my mum we are proudly #3735! feel free to post if you get stuck, and if I can remember what they were I'll give you a clue! Enjoy!!

So Baker Street evokes the Gerry Raferty song well for me any way, but it seems like a destination that's a simple street- a place to change tube lines, or drive through to get to somewhere, or if you're a tourist a way to get to Madam Tussauds, but theres a lot more to it than meets the eye... for example Political liberators of Latin America from Peru, a Prime Minister and famous Novelists including H.G. Wells lived on Baker Street. Two of the Beatles worked in a flat there.. theres so much more.. check out the pics... William Pitt the Younger was the UK's youngest prime minister at age 24  in 1783 William Pitt the Younger- thus called because the Elder also shared the same name and also had served as Prime Minister  of Great Britian in 1766. William Pitt the Younger served as PM a second time in 1804-1806, so it was at this time he lived here on Baker Street.  Just a little way down you can see the plaque which shows where the Beatles, John Lennon and Geor...

Posters or info signs, are just that, information but not on the Tube, on the Tube is Posters are an art form.  To prove the point as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the London Underground, theres an exhibition dedicated to the posters of the decades. All at the London Transport Museum in Covent garden It will feature posters by many famous artists including Edward McKnight Kauffer and Paul Nash, and designs from each decade over the last 100 years now extended from 27th Oct 2013 to 5th Jan 2014. Giving you enough time to get in there between all the school holidays and tourist season. 111 injuries in 2012 More recently TFL has created a range of posters that appear on the buses and tubes that will tell you what wont hurt you, and what wont kill you. They gave me a bit of a giggle, like being told off by a kindly teacher. "Having paitence wont kill you" Oh wont it?! and there I was worried about it the whole time, okay I guess I...

Welcome to EVERYTHING London , you may have followed from my blog Inspired NYC when as a Londoner I moved to and worked in NYC. As a result of being featured on Emerald Magazine and other sites I developed a ebook version UK and USA which is now published and  after my NYC adventure...Now it's time to focus on all things London.. Just to connect the blogs, here's the post from the pictogram from Expedia The people at  expedia.co.uk have been gathering sources from all over the shop and have come up with a list comparing the two wonderful metropolises, suggesting you might 'heart' one of them more...humm, is it possible? NYC has more people per sq mile and London being bigger than NYC, is able to spread more people out. When you live on Manhattan Island it's clear you live on a little Island, and there will be pretty much no street that you're on alone any time of the day. But in London you can find alcoves of space, time to think and just some...
