One For The Road? Historic London Pubs
http://www.holidaysintheuk.com/historic-london-pubs
Holidays in the UK. One For The Road? February 21, 2013. There is some considerable debate over which is the oldest pub in London but the Cittie Of York. Is definitely a contender. The pub is in a Grade II listed building located on High Holborn and sits where there has been a public house since the 1400s. Look out for the Victorian era cubicles that were once used for consultations between lawyers and clients. The original version of the Olde Cheshire Cheese. The Jamaica Wine House. Is enough to justify...

Stuffed in London: Not to beat about the Bush
http://stuffedinlondon.blogspot.com/2011/05/not-to-beat-around-bush.html
Sunday, 1 May 2011. Not to beat about the Bush. The Old Bull and Bush. Location: Golders Green, London. Golders Green: I've never been there before and I'm not sure I'll be returning if The Old Bull and Bush is the best they've got to offer. This may seem a little harsh, and I'm sure the people of Golders Green are lovely, but The Old Bull and Bush is to gastro pubs what Wayne Rooney is to football - an utter disgrace. Based on a recommendation from a colleague(! With a sense of disappointment already se...

Kids, running and being forty: March 2011
http://kidsrunningandbeingforty.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Kids, running and being forty. Thursday, 31 March 2011. Hot and hard in the park. St James Park in the Spring. Just look at those stamens! Distance: 7.6 miles. Tuesday, 29 March 2011. With it being the morning after a late night (and a Monday too! I had the proper double-whammy! Something that's been on my mind lately is that I read an article where David Cameron's running style was compared unfavourably. With his wife's - the key point being that he has a lousy stride angle. Distance: 7.7 miles. I didn'...

Rosecroft Avenue: November 2010
http://rosecroftavenue.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 26, 2010. The Thanksgiving That Is Not, 2010. It is a cold, beautiful day in London. Tomorrow will be colder; on Saturday, perhaps, even snow. The leaves that enfolded our flat in green six weeks ago have turned burnt orange and fire red and withered and fallen away. There is frost on the garden. Winter is coming early. The cold reminds me of two of my favorite Thanksgivings. Stefan’s first, in New York, the city closed down by a surprise snow storm and the Macy’s Parade. I now have a ne...

Sunday, January 30, 2011. Restaurants: The Butcher's Hook, Fulham. The Butcher's Hook, 477 Fulham Road. There are few things in life I love to hate more than Chelsea Football Club. Had I known anything about. The Butcher’s Hook. When I selected it, more or less randomly, from The Good Food Guide 2011. I likely would have reconsidered my choice. That would have been a shame, because this is a superior gastropub. The corner of Fulham Road and Holmead Road in Fulham. Was served at the perfect cellar tempera...
