BT Artbox: painted phone booths

I swear to God, I came up with the idea first. Of course I don't have the paint, or brushes, or the artistic talent to pull it off. But I did think of it first.

Anyway, I discovered the BT Artbox project on the way home today. I suspected seeing a painted phone booth in Covent Garden the other day but didn't bother to look into it.

Looks like BT Artbox is a less exciting art and charitable project on a smaller scale than the Faberge Big Egg Hunt earlier this year. Check out the details of BT Artbox on their website here.

Nevertheless, it seems like something fun to do. New addition to the adventure list.

street food: london streets named after food part 1

I live on a street named after food, it's always an icebreaker with the taxi drivers, or takeaway restaurants.

There doesn't seem to be a compilation of streets named after food in London, so we're going to have to fill that knowledge gap. Starting with... Grape Street in Covent Garden.

walking across the millenium bridge at dusk

Thank God for late summer nights. This is the perfect post-dinner stroll.

Definitely walk from the Tate towards St Paul's Cathedral, the views are just stunning. But if you walk the reverse way you'll be looking at the rather unsightly Tate Modern and surrounding buildings. Takes about 15 minutes at a leisurely pace.

Nearest tubes: Southwark (Tate Modern) and St Paul's.
