The London Lowdown: Review: The first emperor
http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2008/02/first-emperor.html
Monday, 4 February 2008. Review: The first emperor. It's taken me a while to get round to reviewing this exhibition at the British Museum, but as everyone and his mother was reviewing it a while back I decided to give it a whirl. So I grabbed my own mother and hot footed it down to Russell Square. The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army. Explores one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century and the man responsible for creating this amazing site: Qin Shi Huang. The exhibition is fascinat...

The London Lowdown: January 2007
http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 January 2007. Getting to know you part 1- On the buses. Bus tours are a great introduction to the city. Bus tours are, quite obviously, tours on open-top buses (usually, some might be closed top). There are two main companies – The Big Bus Company. And The Original London Sightseeing Tour. The congestion charge has made bus tours a much more pleasant journey. Tuesday, 16 January 2007. What’s for dinner? Including Gordon Ramsay’s eponymous establishment, a three-starred affair in. Other notable...

The London Lowdown: October 2007
http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 October 2007. Is it okay to have pancakes on any other day than Shrove Tuesday? This was the question that had to be addressed when I and four other lovely ladies met for lunch on a Friday. On my suggestion we went to My Old Dutch. In High Holborn, which elicited cries of “Pancakes! 8221; from some and “Pancakes? But it’s the wrong day! 8221; from others. My plan for next time is to take someone who'll share a savoury pancake so I can did into a sweet one for afters! Labels: Eating and Drinking.

El Blog de los Fraggel Viajeros. Londres en 4 días (Part Three). Junio 4, 2008. 21 de Septiembre de 2007. Desperté, como iba a empezar a ser habitual, con el olor del desayuno entrando por algún misterioso respiradero de la habitación. El desayuno inglés que ofrecía el hotel no estaba mal, así que cargamos pilas muy tempranito y nos fuimos en metro hasta la parada del Madame Tussauds. Habíamos comprado las entradas por internet con antelación en una oferta que incluye el London Eye. Soy terriblemente mie...

The London Lowdown: November 2007
http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 5 November 2007. Lunch time landmarks: Circus Tricks. Apparently one in five workers in the UK don't take a full hour for lunch, and the average break is only 27 minutes (bbc.co.uk, 2004). Experts say that this can affect health and lower productivity, not only that research has shown that visiting art galleries during lunch time can actually lower stress levels (University of Westminster, 2006). And I'm sure what goes for art galleries must, to some extent,. Go for all sightseeing. Much more app...

The London Lowdown: Down on the farm
http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2007/10/down-on-farm.html
Friday, 12 October 2007. Down on the farm. A cold, rainy day in September might not seem the best day for a visit to a country farm, but I wasn't going to let that deter me. It was my birthday and I wanted to see donkeys and that was the end to it. So equipped with waterproofs, walking boots and warm clothing, my partner and I headed off to Mudchute Farm and Park. The park was originally a piece of derelict land created during the last century from the spoil from the construction of Millwall Dock. Miss K...

The London Lowdown: March 2008
http://thelondonlowdown.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 11 March 2008. Review: A little country rock n roll band. Kane, 9 June 2007, Barfly. It's been a while since I last went to Barfly. In fact when I was last there it was The Monarch and Barfly occupied the top floor. This first-floor room is still where gigs take place and it hasn't changed much over the years. Painted black, dimly lit, a stage at the front, a small bar at the back and little else in between. It's the ideal place for an up-close-and-personal gig. On the night of the Kane. It was ...
