At Christmas we were stunned by a performance on BBC of RAYE at the Royal Albert Hall where she talked about becoming Independant from her record producer as they would not allow here writings to be published. At the age of twenty six years young, she somehow had the belief in herself to take this … Read more
As you may have guessed, my wife and I travelled to Malta, via Gatwick using Purple parking as the preferred parking provider. We have used Purple Parking many times before, and expected this part to be OK, but not sure about getting into Gatwick airport, or onwards, and upwards. Firstly, Purple Parking was absolutely atrocious. … Read more
My name is Kevan, and I already host one of the best pub history sites in the UK, in particular London and the south east. I struggle with walking up stairs, and also long distances – and therefore this is my guide of visiting London whilst using London transport links. I can be harsh, but … Read more
I think it must be about 18 months ago, well actually it was once I received my London60 pass and I decided to visit every railway station in London. And then the lurgy hit the world, and as I can only go out on the warm days, the trips to London stopped for a while, … Read more
An email made me aware of Tokio coming to a venue near you, and tickets were quickly booked at the Union Chapel, Highbury and Islington. I have never been there before, although my wife had sung there as a gamesmaker at some stage. The Union Chapel is brilliant, a church which also puts on some … Read more
A late booking for a weekend in London to see my Doctors at the Royal Brompton after lung reduction surgery led to an email inquiry to the Piccadilly theatres as to availability for London shows on the evening of Saturday 13th April with wheelchair access. The Piccadilly Theatre came through trumps and my wife was … Read more
I visited the O2 centre in early February 2024, and as I was travelling down to Hampshire immediately after the strictly come dancing show, I decided to try parking at the O2. I checked out a bit about the access issues and help in getting about. Parking is incredibly expensive as compared to my London60 … Read more
I had an appointment at the Royal Brompton hospital, well actually two separate appointments at two different wings ( and about 5 minutes apart, but I will get to that). Gidea Park station is on the new Accessible Elizabeth line, and I had a number of routes open to me to get to the hospitals, … Read more
My wife and I chose to fly with Ryanair again due to their being an EU airline and less staffing issues. I have to say that Ryanair still needs to improve, but better than others, maybe. This time, I think I will go back to one of the other airlines, considering how pathetic their staff … Read more
I visited this station yesterday, and took a rather stupid exit at the end of the train which landed me in the Northern line, which is notoriously inaccessible in many places. Today, the 15th June 2022, I had another go at this, and stayed more central in the train, and took the very obvious exits, … Read more
I popped into London on the 14th June to visit Canary wharf and the Elizabeth line. I travel in via the c2c to Limehouse, and 20 steps gets me onto the DLR towards Lewisham, and hey presto, we are in Canary wharf. I am documenting this network hub on another post. I then wandered down … Read more
I know that Canary wharf has been an important centre of banking for some years. But more importantly, it is now a major travel junction. It is home to the DLR station, the Jubilee station and now the Elizabeth line station. It also has a link to the Thames clipper wharf aka the Uber Thames … Read more
