access london in 2024 and earlier

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

There are two definite major theatres in Victoria, both are close to Victoria station, and well served by bus routes. The number 24 is a good choice, travelling from Pimlico to Hampstead Heath, it travels via Victoria, Westminster, Charing Cross, Leicester square, etc. As you can see, there are 3800+ seats at these two theatres […]

The Seven Dials is basically a central pivot of the seven roads and streets which lead into this junction. The road layout has altered massivley over the last 200 years, with street names changing, sometimes swapping with each other, but this is an entirely different project. In Earlham street is the popular Cambridge Theatre, which […]

The Dominion appears to be a little bereft of other theatres in the immediate neighbourhood, being right close to Tottenham court road. There is a whole lot more to do in the area, including the amazing British Museum. The station at Tottenham court road has just had millions (probably billions) sepnt on making it totally […]
