The mighty greasy spoon, the cafe of cafes. Not a quaint little country place selling scones with a view of some lost castle, no we are talking the bacon and eggs, sticky floor, plastic chair variety which you can find in most towns and cities on this fair Isle's thelondonwalker.com/2025/02/22/l...

Sharing as well, I love these instruments, must have been quite something seeing a procession of these back in the day, and would have made a few Legionnaires knees shake in the dark rain sodden forests of the north

Paul’s Wharf, City of London, 1860 - 1900, crazy detail, all those wharves and jetties were lost during the Blitz, replaced with modern offices and a lack of imagination

Love the beautiful buildings that line Little Britain, a narrow street near St Paul's, from 1575 – 1725 the street was mostly occupied by booksellers, until they all moved to Paternoster Row where it was free to sell books. John Milton and Benjamin Franklin lived here.

In the basement of the Ned, the former Midland Bank headquarters, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the vault door weighs over 20 tonnes and is the entrance to an exclusive cocktail bar. It was used in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger as as stand-in for Fort Knox. I'm just checking on me diamonds.

Just muted words dump and musk and my timeline no longer is filled with chaos. Not wanting to ignore news but over saturation leaves folk unwell and full of cynicism. Power to the people!
