London quirks for the tourist in London who wants to think they are not a Tourist!

Nicky Hopkins Park Bench

If you can find Perivale Park on the Western edge of London you will discover the Nicky Hopkins Memorial Park Bench

Nicky, a session muso, played with them all: the Beatles, the Rolling Stone, the Who, the list goes on.

On the the North Walk on the Thames there is the Temple which is the centre of the English law fraternity and where in the 1200s the Magna Carta was signed-making even Kings subject to the Rule of law.

It also has a beautiful garden in the centre of London.

Black Friars Hotel just because it’s there.

Borough Market of course.

If you have your bike or car in London you must go to the Ace Cafe.

So if you have done the Big ones.

St Pauls, the Tower Bridge and all the other big attraction. Look a little further!

  1. A nice park bench to sleep on, Michael. Also, what’s a slow old Guzzi doing lurking outside the famous Ace Cafe? Hope you didn’t start a riot. Weather looks great. Enjoy

  2. RhapsodyBoheme – Welcome to my little corner, the place where the thoughts of my deep thinking take flight and where I ponder the status quo and if "this" is really "it." You might have been there too, asking yourself if this is all there is to your life. I invite to explore the ups and downs I have encountered so far, how I worked through them, overcame, and even came to embrace them as lessons that I needed to learn. And yes, I mean even the tough ones. This blog started as an outlet for what I call my “Warriors Journey". It became a way to document and share my challenges and successes, plus allowed me to empty my mind when I felt others found it hard to relate. When I basically felt alone, trapped with an analytical mind that examined everything at a deeper level. Please check out my 'About me" page for a more in depth look and thank you for stopping by. Namaste 🙏🏼💙🦋
