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!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
