Well, tonight, thank God it's them instead of you

Got to love Bono, such an ambassador for the people. 

But yes, that does mean Christmas is coming. 

So Slava's snow show at the Southbank last year was pretty wack. It was entertaining by the end because if we didn't join in the laughter, I would have been sad about the time and money I wasted. Best bit was a guy (Russian clown?) sliding across the floor with a fin on his back pretending to be a shark. For 5 seconds. 

This year, I've managed to bag tickets for Westminster's Abbey Carols Service which I'm excited about it. They are free tickets so sell out instantly. Never been inside Westminster Abbey either (you know how it goes when you live in the capital). More info here.

I'm also going to head out with the family to Christmas at Kew, there is Santa and rides for the nephew but also it just looks really nice all lit up - a bit fantastical which I guess is good at Christmas. Let's hope it doesn't rain.

"Tired of London, Tired of Life"

The phrase, 'Tired of London, Tired of Life' was started from a blog which went onto become a book and the phrase is one, I can get very much on board with. 

I'm from London originally but probably only started discovering things about it as I grew older and more involved with my own direction of things to do - post university I'd say. (I didn't go to university in London.)

Whenever I discover something interesting to visit/see in London, I make a note in my diary and the next time I'm in the area, I'll seek it out. 

One of such random things on my to do list was Lower Robert Street - a secret little road between the Strand and Embankment used mostly by Black Cabs. 

It's pretty bizarre, part tunnel, part warehouse. To read more about it, visit here. 

I then took my wanderings through Lamb & Flag Passage on the way to my dinner that night, a tiny alley that is almost part of the historic pub (Lamb & Flag).
