Tabby London
Bio
The London I've been discovering is usually off the well-beaten track.I love the nooks and crannies and walking along the streets steeped in centuries worth of history. I'm fond of Zone 1 because that's where it all began centuries ago.

The Dangleway
My latest trip was my second trip on the IFS Cloud Cable Car (previously the Emirates Air Line). I was just as excited as the first time. Plus, my friend and I had the cable car to ourselves, which felt wonderful. We could freely move around and take pictures.

A City within A City
I was lucky enough to pop over to the Tower of London for lunch. Yes, lunch was so nice to have the privilege of doing so. I was invited, and my host has a membership in the Palaces. For more information, check out https://www.hrp.org.uk/membership/#gs.lybhqg

Milkmaids Passage
Thousands of people walk through Green Park and rarely glance around at Milkmaid's Passage. Why would they? You can't walk through it anyways. However, the name captures your attention as you walk past and dare to look behind through the gated off narrow alley. Plus, the presence f the King's men is enough to stop anyone from lingering around for too long.

The King’s Favourite Abode
Clarence House is a royal residence in London, located on The Mall, near St. James’s Palace. Built between 1825 and 1827 to the designs of John Nash for Prince William Henry, Duke of Clarence (later King William IV), it has been a key home for senior members of the British royal family. Compared to other royal palaces, its relatively modest design reflects a comfortable, domestic style, with a pale stucco exterior and elegant interiors.

TATE BRITAIN
I walked into the Tate Modern in late autumn 2024, expecting to see the 80s Photographs Exhibition, but was politely told it was at the Tate Britain near Vauxhall. Even Londoners can get this one mixed up. So, I got to visit Tate Britain when the opportunity arose.

The Royal Docks
I was most impressed by the refreshing change around the regenerated Royal Victoria Docks. I last visited the Excel Centre many moons ago and saw extensive work around the area. The finished outcome is impressive. Let me tell you more about Royal Victoria Docks

Minories
Minories is my old student stomping ground. Back then, it felt like Students vs. suits. I’m sure they looked at us with envy as we made our way to the canteen with the best views of the Tower of London. I wish Snoopy was invented back then because of the front house views.

Tutankhamun Immersive Experience
I don’t know if you’ve been following the news, but the new findings in Cairo regarding the Pyramids are a history rewrite. Therefore, it was apt that I booked Tickets for the immersive Tutankhamun exhibition that opened in London.

A City of Bridges
Did you know that there are 34 bridges in London? You’re probably familiar with the most famous one - Tower Bridge. It’s a bridge most Londoners grew up with and admired for as long as we can remember. It was lovely to go over the bridge as a child.

Love Lane
I remember when I first saw Love Lane and thought, "How sweet!" This was before I was interested in London. Once, I created Tabby London, and when I returned to the City, I decided to research street names. What I found was very interesting, to say the least.
