Thank you. Ive lived in London all my life & never heard of it, Now at the top of my list.

I love London and Shakespeare. Last time I was in England, I visited Stratford Upon Avon on my way from Oxford to York. It was amazing. I went on a Shakespeare House tour - I think I did the three houses. I would love to experience this festival.

Have to say your a little off the mark as I don't see you have got Ms. Cupcake in Brixton on the list.

Really like this place Simple, friendly, wholesome. Amazing vegan burger - cheap too!

Since writing this question I've been to see Carla at Sweet Memories in Church Street Twickenham and I would nominate her for the award of best traditional sweet shop. Have a look and see if you agree:http://www.weekendnotes.com/sweet-memories-of-twickenham-church-street/

The Best jacket potatoes in Covent Garden are from Dinner Jackets !

This place looks gorgeous! If only I was in London! :)

gosh, it looks great, and did they use an architect??

Well said Anna. Though being in the States prevents my attending class at Lyndsey Jay Fitness, Lindsey's site is one of the very few I allow on my Facebook for friends to learn about Zumba. Each and every one of you are Brilliant! Dean

Great article Lesley...made me laugh a lot!

It's not useful, it's not even funny
Best wishes Vesna

i thought it looked good but when we asked if there was anything vegan we were surprised to be told no , so we went elsewhere

any 1960s mods out there could possiby let me know what London was like in 1964 ? I need to know how big a city london was in 1964,what life was like in 1964 and the atmosphere feeling flavor and vibe of london that year,as well as any memories and recollections of london in 1964. i only want to know about london only during 1964. (I;m from Stockton ,California and know of no one from London so please don't be upset with me_I'm serious for any info and recollections on London from 1964 very much. thanks mucho gusto. hank

Just been to Borough and loved it! Must check this out next! you make it sound very tempting...

The food looks superb and I couldnt quite work out if the other photo was high quality paper or some sort of fabric. It does look interesting though.I love markets and interesting markets. There are so many talented people who create amazing things and sell the most superb organic or handmade products at markets.

Looks amazing, didnt know it was on. Its not an open competition though, only for students from what Im reading of what youve written. Should have some amazing photos though.

Great article Brownie, please let's have more of these! Very interesting to read about the Mods in and around London and of course the recent Mod revival where some of the great bands of the day are back in full swing once more. Bands like Secret Affair and The Lambrettas playing recently along with many sell out dates from The Specials, The Beat and Bad Manners in 2011 has also increased the awareness of the Mods and the 2-tone scene in general. The Selector are also playing dates in 2012 so long may it continue!

Perhaps more articles on the bands, the clothing and the way of life in general would go down well - long live Ben Sherman, Lambretta and Fred Perry!

Excellent articles, brings back memories of me riding round Spalding (Lincs) on my Vespa!!

Fascinating stuff - you don't see such depth in events writing these days - epecially on t'internet.
I wasn't a fan of The Who first time round - too young - then I went to see them live a few years ago and realised what a huge influence they had on bands stretching through the 80s, 90s and 00s.
The Who's DNA is traceable in the work of just about every major British band of the late 20th century - and it's a real treat to touch and feel the environment which spawned this seminal band's brilliance.

Interesting article, must get some more of those Classic albums
back on my turntable (have just bought new one!) - Although still listening
to the Who - a timelesss band!

Great article Brownie. I never had a sccoter but my 150cc Francis Barnet and choice of clothes qualified me to be a Mod. Some of my fondest ,but fading, memories of my youth include evenings at the Whiskey a GoGo in converstion with Long John Baldry.
Tony now in Canada

The old saying proves true agsin "You learn something everyday"

Thanks Brownie. You have made my next trip to London more interesting.....

Great Piece, more like this please 'Weekend Notes'...

I wish I could still fit into my parka... I only bought it two years ago and all.

A nice piece, I'm tempted to tour the Quadrophenia locations on the strength of this.

Great Photos of the London New Years Day Parade .. The Cheerleaders were fantastic ! London Short Stay Apartments

Just told my daughter to take a back pack to London & she is going to a restaurant ha ha

Olympic Fish Bar,Mitre Road Stratford E15

Thanks for this post Sandra - I'm annoyed at myself for not realising that they open from time time and although it's sold out for this weekend I'll be looking out for future openings. Loved the photos of the posters.

Looks divine, love gourmet foods. These look like they are the best of British.
