The Cartoon Museum

(Little Russell St, nr British Museum, ?5.50)

Loads of political cartoons, comics, charicatures etc. Great museum, really fun and informative.


New London Architecture Centre

(Store St, nr British Museum, Free)

The NLA galleries have some fairly interesting displays including 2012 Olympics plans andLondon borough proposals. However, the big draw is the huge 3D model of London that covers half the floor. Really worth popping in if you're nearby and havn't before.

Love that shot from the future and I can see all of London from my little flat. I am so lucky.

I can't wait for the shard and the other big buildings to go up!


Places to visit include Geffrye Museum, Mudchute City Farm and Surrey Docks Farm, and when the tide is out you can walk down to the river from many places including the stairs right next to Surrey Docks Farm, and along the city areas too.


Love Chelsea and the Michelin building area. Love Worlds End area and the little park called Cremorne Gardens, what's left of it - used to be a massive area and known as a den of inequity(!) in the 1800s. My grandparents and Dad came from there.


Love the backstreets of Dulwich, the listed library buildings.

Love being a motorcyclist and going all over everywhere and that is often what I do for my work even though I am not a courier!

LOVE walking around the City at night and weekends.

Love

LONDON!

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

It was absolutely the most relaxed work I have ever had performed on the house!" – Alistair, Cambridge, July 2025 "Extremely friendly, polite and efficient" – Diane, Forest Hill, June 2025 We are always keen to chat through your floor insulation options and provide as much free advice as we can, as well as free quotes and surveys – so why not ask us today about what is possible to protect your floors from the cold ventilation air blowing underneath, keep your heat in and warm up your home? We use high-performance mineral wool slabs, never foam, for so many reasons: it is the ideal flexible material for the irregularities of old floors; is breathable, working with the way your floor has successfully performed for perhaps 100 years or more; can easily be removed to access pipes and cables; and is completely non-combustible. A local business based in Crystal Palace, we work extensively around Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Lewisham, Tooting, Balham and across the south East of England. Please ask us about your floor insulation options or for local project case studies today!
