Well spotted there Ted.

[eh? What did you spot there Ted?]

The Shard, Mick Mac. It's a picture from the Fyooooooooooocha.

Quite a few "artist's impressions" in that pic, I think.

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!

hey Peckhamgatecrasher ... don't blame it on Kels please.... it was me!

[Mick Mac]

I mean golf may be boring - but cricket.......we need to draw the line.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]
