Liam's Walking Tours of London

ST LUKE'S: With the glut of overtime on offer and the recent arrival of not only Kate, but Shannon and Mum on Thursday and Nick this morning, means that posts have slowed to a crawl. And this week doesn't look like it will be any quieter.

We're off to do a Jack the Ripper tour followed by curry in Brick Lane for Nick's birthday one night and dinner at my cousin David's place in Belsize Park on another and then it's off up to Clitheroe for Christmas on Friday afternoon. And in between I'll be trying to cram in as much overtime as possible.

What have I been up to? Well both nights of the weekend were taken up with festivities. Flo's band, The Burn Brothers, played a gig in a curious, old pub in Kennington on Saturday night and on Friday night I was out at our work Christmas party. During the day it was tourist stuff with the fam.

Saturday was a stunning December day so we walked from Little Venice to Camden via Regent's Park, Lord's and Primrose Hill. The hill was stunning with perfect views of London however there were not sightings of Sadie Frost or the fabled Primrose Hill set. After Camden we bussed it over to the British Museum for a whirlwind tour of the highlights including the Sutton Hoo treasure, the Parthenon Marbles and the Mummies.

The Sunday we went to Spitalfields, then the Columbia Road flower markets which were packed with Cockney's hawking Christmas trees, the Museum of Childhood at Bethnal Green, Speaker's Corner at Hyde Park, Mayfair, Picadilly, then the National Gallery.

Now I'm back at work doing overtime so forgive me if this post is devoid of inspiration.
