Re. "Bloomsbury Lanes, a groovy retro 50's bowling alley that time forgot", it opened in 2005....

Not a bad spot though 😉

A few more from me....

Cask, Pimlico. Beer nirvana. (Thanks for the hangover this morning, guys. Really, thanks...!)

The cemeteries. Brompton, Barnes, etc. OK, so they're popular with a certain male demographic, but as long as you avoid that, they're fantastically creepy and intereting places. Brompton is marvellous, such crazy Victoriana.

The Regency Café. Also in Pimlico. Classic greasy spoon.

And, my fave thing to do in any city. Go to the tube. Buy a ticket. Go four stops in either direction. Get out, turn left. See where it takes you! (Did this in Moscow recently, amazing!

The Regency Café as featured in that unpleasant scene in 'Layer Cake', nice for a cup of tea 😉

I reckon one of the best views of the city is from the tea hut in the middle of blackheath,
