#LookUpLondon: I’ve just strolled past the old Portland Arms in Portland Road, Holland Park - which, like many one-time London pubs, isn’t a pub any more. #AnorakFact: its street corner was often used as a location in the Thames TV series #Minder (’79-94). #HistoryOnTheHoof
#LookUpLondon: spotted & snapped at 87 Jermyn Street, St James’s, London, a branch of the men’s outfitters Hackett but also, & much more important, a former residence of one of the greatest polymaths in history, Isaac Newton, duly honoured with a blue plaque. #HistoryOnTheHoof
#LookUpLondon: this tatty & unprepossessing terraced house at 22 Cleveland Street, Fitzrovia, London, was not once but twice the home of the great Charles Dickens. #AnorakFact: it was known as 10 Norfolk Street in Dickens’ day. #HistoryOnTheHoof
Leicester Square is getting ready for the #Superman Fan Event tonight! Sadly no standby area for those who weren't picked in the lotteries (like me) but it's going to look amazing! Have a great time all who are going!

When asked to name his favorite prop or set piece in 'SUPERMAN', James Gunn didn’t hesitate:
“Fortress of Solitude.”

#LookUpLondon: check out what I spotted & snapped when I parked my Kia Stinger GT 3.3 V6 twin-turbo in Arthur Road, Wimbledon, earlier this evening: a hot Ford Cortina Mk1.👌
#LookUpLondon: spotted & snapped in Gillingham Street, near Victoria, yesterday evening: a blue plaque for the great writer Joseph Conrad, who was born in Poland but became a true master of English; a Ford Ranger; & an #AccidentalSelfie (look carefully). #HistoryOnTheHoof
Out and about enjoying North London today. Parked next this. Turns out it’s one of London’s first electric generating stations. #lookuplondon
#LookUpLondon: working from home on Fridays really has taken on in a big way in London. I snapped this pic at Borough tube station (Northern Line, City branch, northbound) at 09:56 this morning. As you see, there’s not a soul to be seen.
#LookUpLondon: spotted & snapped at Earl’s Court tube (District Line) just now, one of 4 classic destination lightboxes, dating from 1905, featuring an old-style lit arrow pointing to the destination station, now restored & connected to a new signalling system. #HistoryOnTheHoof
#LookUpLondon: what a pity it is - pic 1 - that the City of Westminster officials can’t spell Carlos Pace - pic 2! #HistoryOnTheHoof
#LookUpLondon: I snapped this pic while walking between meetings earlier today. Trafalgar Square is unfailingly photogenic. #HistoryOnTheHoof
#LookUpLondon: I snapped this pic at Kennington tube station (Northern Line) just now. There’s something very satisfying about the graphical symmetry of staircases on the #London Underground, isn’t there?
Lovely #ArtNouveau window detailing in the upper storey of Piccadilly's #Burlington Arcade. Plus lovely lettering too as befitting Caramels & Chocolate 😋.
