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 Remarkable Roman Wall Find at 35 Vine Street, London
I've walked past Vine Street countless times, but I never imagined that beneath the ground level could lie such deep history. But then again, it is the Square mile, so the probability of it being associated with Roman Londinium is always very high.

A Royal Institution with a Rich History
Nestled in the charming town of Slough in Berkshire, Eton College has been at the heart of British education for centuries. Its proximity to Windsor Castle made it a convenient spot for the nation's elite, including Princes William and Harry, who often visited their grandmother during their time there.

Mudlarking On the Thames
Going Mudlarking on a rainy day is never a fab idea. But I didn't know it would be wet and miserable when I booked my ticket. Plus, my local train station was closed, so I had to take the bus, which took me directly to the Millennium Bridge in St Paul's. Mood - grumpy. Not a good start, but as they say, the show must go on.

AN OASIS IN PICCADILLY
Green Park was my escape from the four walls of the Corporate Office world, usually each day. I enjoyed exiting the air-conditioned offices to breathe fresh air in the Park. I'd either go early or after the lunchtime rush because, on a sunny day, the Park filled up pretty quickly with office workers.

OOH, LA LA - PARIS CALLING…
I love train journeys, and one of my favourite journeys is from London to Paris. I enjoy going to Paris for the day. For the day, I hear you ask? Yes, for the day. The beauty of London - Paris is now only 2 hours and 12 minutes on the Eurostar from St Pancras.

Overwhelming Wonderful
I decided to go to the British Museum after a long time. Pre-COVID, you could walk in through the front or the back entrances. These days, you have to go through bag checks, too. As a frequent visitor to London, I don't mind either entrance, so I was interested in the fastest route inside the Museum.

Back To The Tower
When the lockdown restrictions were lifted, I remember walking outside of Tower London and absorbing the once-in-a-lifetime surreal feeling. I will never forget what I saw. The place was virtually empty, with an eerie silence all around. I remember talking to one of the Beefeaters standing behind the Gate, and he told me they would be opening when they got the go-ahead from the officials.
