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
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 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

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

The front entrance of Fenchurch street station has lifts, escalators and a toilet. All are very good, and very accessible. Upminster station, on the c2c, has lifts, ramps for those … Read more
My name is Kevan Wilding, and I like visiting London as often as possible. I am a London resident and travel free on their service most of the time, and I have been building a site about which stations are most accessible, and therefore which stations I would want to use, and the easiest routes … Read more
