Eye’m in the red for you

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been – how far
It doesn’t matter how run down you are
Or if there’s nothing perfect left in your heart
No, it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at all
I’m on the edge for you
Losing my head for you
I’m […]

Harrods, London

Cairo?
No, London.
The British Museum?
No. Harrods.

Lee Mack
A short landing around Tottenham Court Rd yesterday, before we took off again.
“I know where to go.” S. said.
“Oh Comedy. That is where you are supposed to laugh isn’t it. Don’t like it” that was the state I was in.
“He’s funny trust me.”
“I’m not really crazy about standuppers.”
“His last name is Mack.”
“Ha Ha. Very […]

Spike and Whitey in Regent Street

Spike and Whitey in Regent Street
We have a serious problem.
What, what do you mean?
She absolutely hates Christmas.

Museum of London

Museum of London
Wandering through the city, looking for both my mind and my lawless heart, I suddenly stood in front of the Museum of London. I guess it was about time to strike something from my to-see list again.

Spamalot, Palace Theatre, London

Spamalot, the Monty Python musical finally opened in London 2 days ago, after a successful ride (Tony Award) on Broadway.
I am normally not that crazy about musicals, I tend to find them boring. But Spamalot is not your average musical, it kicks ass. It takes the piss out of every musical […]

Anti Beauty - Battersea Powerstation

I loved this building from the very first second I saw it. Today I saw it from close by.

Brighton - all at sea

Brighton - all at sea, a man, 2 dogs and a seagull
I felt someone pulling my hair very gently.
“Wake up now” he whispered in my ear.

Stormbreaker Eye
I took a weekend off from writing, I had a family member visiting me. We have been touristing London, and I learned one thing: I am still afraid of heights. I climbed the first 30 steps of Monument, but had to turn back, after my legs had turned into strawberry jelly.
So I wasn’t exactly […]

New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1

New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman St, London W1
More and more rumours are going around that the Cafe, yes the one and only THE CAFE, is closing. The owner is facing another raise in rent, and he is not really willing to settle for that, so if things are not getting […]

All pictures are taken today, some of them will soon be available as a Postcard from London. How lucky can you be, living in a city like this.

London - you got to love this city

You have to know that all the theatreshows in London are being advertised as “The best show in London” and “Not to be missed” and then the name of a newspaper and the obligatory “*****”.
So I went to see Stomp, in the Vaudeville theatre on Strand. Because I like drums and percussion and rhythm, […]

I know I complained about it, but even though the weather was as good as it can be, I stayed inside to watch Holland - Serbia/Monte Negro at 3pm. 3pm UK time that was, which was about an hour too late, so I missed the first half. I keep forgetting that I am living in […]

Mandir temple, London

You have to jump on the tube, and take a long journey North West. You reach areas where the underground changes to overground, and you get off at Stonebridge Park (Bakerloo Line). When you leave the train you can see the impressive Wembley Stadium which is currently being rebuild, and delayed, and on […]

Camden Lock

I never knew London had canals. Not before I moved here at least. They even have a place called Little Venice, which is the place where Grand Union Canal meets the Regents Canal. It is great for walking, because you can walk along the old towpath (from the time they used horses to pull […]

Dinosaur in the Natural History Museum

If you like museums, South Kensington is the place. Here you’ll find the Science Museum, the V&A (design) museum and the Natural History Museum very close to each other. And Kensington Gardens, and Royal Albert Hall are just around the corner too.
If you are a National Geographic reader or Discovery […]

I met up with 2 girls in the Starbucks on Leicester Square, and after some text communication about what we looked like, we found each other. We were going to see Prime. Prime was actually quite fun to watch, a real girls night out film, and if you love films like Love Actually you probably […]

Notting Hill Coronet - Cinema, London

The first time I popped up from Notting Hill Gate station, I was disappointed. I had expected to see the market, and the house with the blue door. And maybe even run into Hugh Grant, spilling his orange juice on my Love Actually t-shirt. But then, you might say I […]

The Playhouse Theatre

I did give the half price booth of TKTS a go again yesterday. I was there on Saturday afternoon around 3pm, and the queue was impressively long. So long that I was in doubt if I wanted to queue at all. But I had my book with me, and the sun was doing […]

The Old Vic

Fall in London is going to be fantastic with Kevin Spacey back on stage in the Old Vic Theatre. Kevin Spacey has just announced The Old Vic’s program, and he is going to play in A Moon for the Misbegotten.
