Brixton has undergone so much change over the years. I am not best placed to go over the history here but I do suggest you read it because it is very interesting. The one thing I did know about Brixton when I moved to London was Electric Avenue and that it was a black area of the city.

When Down South SW17: Tooting Broadway
I need to really look up and around when I’m out in my area and take it all in because the view is lovely.
I’ve Been Around the World – Street Art Tour
I give you my world street art photo essay. I didn’t blog about street art at all last year which is very unlike me, it’s kind of my thing. So here we are, this is what I’ve saw in 2015 and 2016 so far.
Walking London: Barbican to Southbank
This past Sunday was the first time in ages where I went on one of my rambling exploring days out.
The London List: Where to Beat the Crowds
Spring is just around the corner and even though it seemed as though London was getting warmer a little bit of a cold snap is upon us again. I’m heading to cooler temperatures soon and can’t contain my excitement. My heart is still in Malta but my head is preparing for my impending trip to…

The gallery, located in South London on the Thames at Millibank, is a part of the Tate network of galleries in England, including Tate Modern,…
Taking A Glimpse into London’s Eerie Past

From Jack the Ripper, to torture at the Tower of London, to sites around the capital that were mass graves London was a veritable city of murder and mayhem in bygone times. It was grim but the visitor who likes the slightly macabre or ‘dark tourism‘…
Walking London: Little Venice & the Canal
Besides being a huge tourist pull London is also a great transit hub to get elsewhere fast. You can fly to Morocco in less than 3 hours and other incredible destinations are only a few hours away. But what of the desire to escape to a new place without leaving London? Easy, what I do…
