Capital Ring

8th August 2018Blogcapital ring, london, london walks, suburban londonMarcin Jagodzinski

Something for people who like to walk a lot, and then a bit more This path, finished in 2005, allows you to explore London’s bit more peaceful areas not in but around the Centre. A total 78 miles or 125 km of routes through suburban areas, woodlands, parks and local high streets. Most enjoyable!

Brighton

14th June 2018Blogbrighton, brighton beach, burned pier brighton, old pier brighton, the west pierMarcin Jagodzinski

Summer is coming, the weather is surprisingly nice recent weeks, time to go to the see. The usual place of choice for Londoners is Brighton. Nice old town, not far away, a large beach (although not sandy…), rich nightlife. When you are there do not forget to visit the pier, just be sure you go to the right one, because one of them is not exactly the safest to access.

Cycling in London

13th April 2018Blogcycle-hire london, london, london cycle, mobike london, ofo london, santander cycles, urbo londonMarcin Jagodzinski

Santander Cycles was the only self-hire bicycle rental scheme in London for quite a few years. Not any more though. The market is evolving as we speak and there are new players on the block worth consideration. We still think Santander would be better for daily commute but for occasional use the dockless schemes come in handy, depending on location as well. Have a look.

Easter in London

28th March 2018Uncategorisedballpond, easter, Easter in London, egghunt, london, the clevelandMarcin Jagodzinski

It seems that Christmas just finished and it is nearly Easter (maybe because the snow couple of weeks ago threw us back to Christmas mood?). Unsurprisingly, London gets busy with many ideas how to entertain the swarms of people who suddenly have a long weekend and seek some fun. There will be EggHunts all around the place and this particular one caught our eye:

If you go tickets there is an Easter event. Just do not dig to deep, you do not know where it might take you…

Happy Easter from The Team to The Cleveland

The Future

6th February 2018Blogfuture of london, london, london museum, london museumsMarcin Jagodzinski

What is the future going to bring? A difficult question, always has been, open to a lot of speculation. Have a look at this exhibition to tickle your imagination and who knows, maybe you will predict something that will actually come true one day?

10th November 2017Blogboxing day, london, oxford street, oxford street pedestrianizedMarcin Jagodzinski

Have you ever visited Oxford Street on a Boxing Day? I saw it once, it seemed like a big, demanding adventure and required a lot of courage to join, which I did not find it. I opted for a secure space in a form of an upper level of a double-decker bus.

This however might change next year, as the street might offer much more space for pedestrians according to Mayor’s plan. So, if you are up to a crazy shopping adventure, make sure to go to Oxford Street this Boxing Day!

View of London

20th October 2017Bloglondon, london viewing platforms, london viewing points, view of londonMarcin Jagodzinski

We came across a list of viewing points in London. I have visited a few of them and they were worth it, so I am sure the ones I did not check would be enjoyable as well. The one place I would add would be Parliament Hill in Hampstead.

Open House 2017

30th August 2017Bloglondon, london architecture, open house 2017, Open House LondonMarcin Jagodzinski

As every year, interesting places around London open their doors to the public.

openhouselondon.open-city.org.uk provides you access to places you will not otherwise be able to enter (at least legally…) If you have some time to spare that weekend, have a peek. Please note, some places need reservation and tend to get fully booked quickly.

Mail Rail

17th August 2017Bloglondon, london post, mail rail, postal museum, royal mail trainMarcin Jagodzinski

The Underground network is not the only underground rail system in London. Yes, the National Rail and Eurostar have their tunnels but there is also a slightly more unusual one. While the previous ones transport people and sometimes cargo, Mail Rail one concentrated solely on post. It has not been running for a while, but recently it was adapted and soon will open to visitors. Advance reservation might be required…

The Longplayer

3rd July 2017Bloglondon, the longplayer, trinity buoy wharfMarcin Jagodzinski

We recently came across Trinity Buoy Wharf in the docklands and its interesting attractions. One of which is The Longplayer:

A very interesting, innovative musical installation that will play looong after we are gone. Make sure to go to the top of the Lighthouse to listen properly while enjoying the view.
