It was with great sadness that we said farewell to London earlier this year, at least in so far as we no longer have our own 'spot' there - just very fond memories of several years living in this vibrant and exciting city. Some of my favourite London things are those which are not well known to visitors - these are mostly around West London.
The Thames and its various inhabitants......
The magnificent Chiswick House with the very impressive rejuvenation of the grounds still work in progress.....
Allotments - where flat dwelling gardeners can grow their own - fruit, flowers, and vegs. This was ours for a short while, and we are so happy to have left it in such good hands......
Richmond Park - an everchanging oasis in which one can spread out a bit!
What about two tiered bicycle parking at Liverpool Street station?
And food........ from farmers' markets.... to barrows..... to 'ready to eat' everything...... including 'proper' hamburgers with beetroot - or whatever else you choose.......
As ever doors are a favourite - here are some of the gems near the river at Strand on the Green...
