True Londoners inspire one another. Made the pilgrimage to #TheHouseOfMobo to raise a glass to founder #KanyaKing whose perseverance under immense hardships gives me the fuel to do the same. A fabulous achievement & the venue has superb #NewYearsEve vibes!

Real Londoners are only too happy to help tourists to enjoy their city. Got chatting to a stranger at the bar of #SteakAndCompany S.Ken, last night & giving reccomnedations of things to do. He was so pleased he generously shared his #FishAndChips with me. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Real Londoners love to try anything new. Had my very 1st Korean Hojicha Latte in the recently opened #EdineCoffee, in Holborn yesterday. Roasted Green Tea from the leaves of the plant made with frothed milk. Akin to Matcha but sweeter & with less caffeine. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Real Londoners know the importance of engaging with culture - even during the festive holidays. Thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Turbine Hall of #TateModern today.& especially the work of artist #MaretAnneSara. Spent some time in Kiruna with Sami in 2009. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners share each other passions. Met the lady sitting next to me last night at #LucyWong & had an interesting conversation. At #TateModern to see the #GatheringGround exhibition today & we bump into each other in the cafe - Trillion to one encounter! #UniquelyLondon #LetsGuide #ALondonersLife3

Great Londoners never follow rules. Superb early New Year's Eve party, thanks to dear friend hosting in basement bar of #LucyWong's, Fitzrovia, last night. Amazing guests & fascinating conversations that means 2026 will definitely be starting on right note

True Londoners know that your Christmas isn't really over until you raise a pint of ale in an 18th Centruy Pub. Enjoyed a well deserved pint of #FullersBrewery #LondonPride in #TheNewInn Public House on #HamCommon after my Boxing Day walk in Richmond Park.
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know they're surrounded by the City's stories, even on awnings of construction sites. This is the birthplace of world's 1st business computer. not by a Tech Co. but J. Lyons & Co. famous for their teashops. This is Lyons Electronics Office or LEO
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLIfe3

Londoners appreciate film-makers art. Just left #HousemaidMovie at #GenesisCinema & recalled it could be 6 years to day, I met director @paulfeig.bsky.social at the #CapriHollywood #FilmFestival in 2019, thanks to #PaulWiffen. He is ironically there now. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know their ingenuity is unsurpassed. Urban Garden that actually feeds people, created as piece of art by #SeanRodrigo, situated in Grade II Listed Telephone Box, outside home of creator of Art & Craft Movement. Can it get more London than that? #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know it's the people you share the festive season with who are way more important than presents or food. I've known #MichaelVincent as a friend for last 4 years. He's incredibly supportive & kind - I only hope I've given back in equal measure.
#LetsGuide #UnquelyLondon #AlondonersLife3

Proper Londoners know that it isn't a real Boxing Day until you've found at least one herd of Deer in @theroyalparks.bsky.social, Richmond Park. This year suprsied even me as it only took 5 minutes to find the 1st it took me another 15 to find the 2nd one. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know that the period over Christmas is the perfect time to catch up on your reading. #CoryDoctorow's book #Enshitification explains why all our services & products have become so utterly useless & insanely expensive - it's not good. Festive fun!
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know how to celebrate Christmas. I've been hosting a Xmas Eve's Drinks event in @harveynichols.bsky.social #HarveryNicholsFoodHall on 5th Floor for over a 1/4 of Century - 1 guest, David Bill, went on to win Peter Pan Cup swimming race this morn
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners love a Christmas Surprise. Yesterday's Christmas Eve begins with Mocha in the newly opened

#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know that a great Christmas Lunch can be found in a really good Pub. The newly opened #TheBullandEgret on Long Acre was perfect for the classic Turkey Roast with Paul Wiffen, Alex Smith and a wonderful suprise visit from #TamaraThomas yesterday.
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know importance of traditions. Merry Christmas everyone! Sadly can't be at #PeterPanCup #SwimmingRace in @theroyalparks.bsky.social Hyde Park this AM no transport - but swam distance 23/12. Good luck all @serpsswimclub.bsky.social for 9am start.
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know the best parties are always held in someone's home. Fantastic night at Fiona's Christmas Eve evening House Party as usual. Singing carols around the piano played by
#PaulWiffen accompanied by professional West End singers all doing harmony. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Real Londoners know Xmas can't be Christmas until you've seen something by Charles Dickens. Lovely to recconnect with theatre buddy & Syrian friend #ReemKhabbazy at #OliverTheMusical in #GielgudTheatre Monday night. We consider ourselves part of the family.
#LetsGuide #UiquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know best way to learn whats going on in is to talk to each other. Chatting to Sarah of #OenoMaris last Sunday & discover her friend put her #LibertyLondon collection into the #WilliamMorrisGallery, #WomenInPrint exhibition - So I visited today!
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know Festive Season hasn't begun until you've had #MulledWine. I discoverd mine at fishmongers & wine traders (Don't ask - It's Hackney) #OenoMaris last Sunday. Made with fresh organges & fresh cranberries - perfect pick me up, warm & delicious.
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #AlondonersLife3

Real Londoners love run up to Christmas. Going around to venues who've looked after me for past year to wish owners Merry Xmas. One of my favourites is
#JensJakobsen (in the background working hard) in his "hidden" #TheOninonGarden located in Victoria.
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know, best of us endure worst of us. Xmas fun with my amazing firend #Bullringbash today. Cards, presents & Himalayan lunch (#MandalaStreetFood KingsCross) from the man in wheelchair. The UK system lets him down constantly but he won't be beaten
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners love to be inspired to change.Visit to #VandAMuseum yesterday to see the excellent #MarieAntonietteStyle exhibition yesterday. An exploration of her history & impact she had on our modern creatives from #SofiaCoppola to @manoloblahnik.bsky.social
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners know what's good & what's terrible. Today's restaurant opening worst in Capital this Century. #SmacksBurgers opened in Victoria with a burger give-away. which quickly descended into mayhem due to very poorly behaved children from #PimlicoAcademy.
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Real Londoners love people who introduce them to City. Out with brother #RichardToy in #TheCoachAndHorses pup in Soho Wednesday night after 10 days very ill. He took me to my 1st West End production #JeffreyBernardIsUnwell with #TomConti, which is set here
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Real Londoners know nearly everything in City has been used as a set for film or movie. @nationaltrust.org.uk, #OsterleyHouseAndGarden played interior for Wayne Mansion in #ChristopherNolan's Batman The Dark Knight Rises. Real secret entrance for Batcave
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners love a freebie - especially a good lunch. The latest #PastaEvangelist franchise opened yesterday on Queensway to great fanfare, carol singers & FREE pasta. Had Sausage in Blankets raviolli which was delicious (a vegetarian option was available).
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Londoners love when inspitaration for art is the very thing that they do. Visited #3812gallery #TheWhiteleyLondon today & learn exhbiition originally inspired by artists visit @theroyalparks.bsky.social #HydePark watching members of #SerpsSwimClub like me.
#LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Real Londoners know the best of their city only exists because of very special individuals. #AceCafeLondon is a classic example. Although here since 1938, it was sold in 80's but thanks to Mark Wilsmore in 1990's, you can now time travel to 50s & 60s again #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3
