My Kindle died halfway to work this morning and as I then found myself with nothing to read I picked up a copy of the Metro. I had a quick flick through it and found the following texts that had been sent in. Unfortionatly I didn’t read yesterdays paper so I don’t have the full [...]

Newgate to Tyburn
This post has been a long while in coming due to me not being able to get the photos to work. I actually did this walk during Febuary half term. Anyway Newgate Prison stood on the site of what is now the Old Bailey Criminal Justice Courts, near St Pauls. This was London’s main prison [...]
Fleet Street
Two London’s Dead posts in one day, I know. Well I have been sitting on this one for a while, but as it fits so well with red and black week I thought I’d share it now. Fleet Street is most famous for the huge number of newspaper offices housed here, but that’s not the [...]
Primrose hill
Right time for another London’s Dead post. Primrose Hill in Camden, opposite Regent’s park is one of the highest points in London. It was also somewhere I wanted to visit as a child as it played a key role in one of my favourite books, The one hundred and one dalmatians by Dodie Smith. For [...]

Camden Fire
There are no words I can use to describe how I feel right now. At least everyone I know is safe, however After Dark fashions is gutted and with it is Aga’s livelihood. I’m not going to join in with the conspiracy theories as to how it started and the reasons, I don’t see the [...]
Camden Market
Yes this is me having a rant but I think its deserved. I recently found out that a large portion of the Stables market in Camden has been sold off to turn into a shopping center. Why?!? Camden market holds an attraction for me because of its uniqueness. It hosts anumber of shops that aren’t [...]
Why is it called “Tourist Season” if we can’t shoot them?
Following a trip to Camden on Sayurday to get some new Docs I was struck by how true this statement is. For some reason Camden seemed to have been injected with hundreds of random tourists. So firstly the place was more packed than I’ve ever seen it. Secondly and more importantly it was packed with [...]
