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
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.

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

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
