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.

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/

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
