This week is Community Pubs Week in London. Now, I love London pubs. They come in all shapes and sizes. There are the big “converted from a bank” trendy types where there are loads of different designer beers on tap but you’d struggle for a pint of Carling, the “tiny place on the corner” drunk…

An aladdin’s cave of…
There are loads of places in London which tourists would probably love to see – if they knew they existed. One of my favourites is Postmans Park, at the Barbican.

It’s interesting to read the Guardian’s comments about yesterday’s failure by the England football team. Suggesting we welcome them back as heroes. For failing, yet again?

I love being in London during public holidays. Easter and xmas are the best.
