If you’re out shopping on the weekend and you’re feeling in need of a sugar boost, forget Starbucks and head to Ben’s Cookies instead. There are simply no cookies quite like them.
Founded by self-confessed Chocoholic Helge Rubinstein, Ben’s Cookies started in 1983 with the first store opening in Oxfords Covered Market and they claim to source all their ingredients locally in the Oxfordshire area. Out of their 10 stores, 5 of these are in London, with the latest opening on Oxford Street just recently, situated next to …

Another nice little blog along the lines of Londonshopfronts.com this one isn’t solely devoted to shop fronts though and features all sorts of photos of interesting sites from around London.
The site is updated regularly and the photographs featured often vary in style in terms of colours and composition. Every now and again some black and white photographs will pop up which have a completely different feel to the normal observational shots.
The style of the photography on the site is very much observational and documentary and often features pictures of people …

Over the last few weekends whilst out and about in Whitechapel I have spotted a few of these great vans covered in graffiti. I remember also seeing them quite a lot, down the side streets in Bethnal Green. Mainly halfway through dropping off goods to the market stalls on Bethnal Green road. The vans in Whitechapel seem to roll in packs and are pretty much covered in vibrant graffiti and splashed with nearly indistinguishable …

Ok I know this is THIS Saturday but I only just found out about it! I don’t even class myself as a photographer but do enjoy taking the odd snap when out and about and have heard some rumblings about the government’s activities regarding taking photos in public. Having read some of the info on the events website (which is very nice looking) photographernotaterrorist.org I have decided as a lot of other people out there on the interweb that enough is enough! Also it could be a good opportunity to …

I have recently moved back to the Hackney area (which I love!) and was recently debating the plethora of famous names that seem to use the trendy East London district as some sort of branding exercise. So I did a little poking around on the internet and quickly realised that loads of famous people are associated with Hackney, having either lived here, having workspace in Hackney or being born here.
I have put together a little list of my favourite Hackney people (with the help of Wikipedia) and was surprised to …

The Abercrombie and Fitch shop is in West London close to Oxford Circus underground station, easily within walking distance. It is located just round the corner from the Apple Store on Regents Street, and the nearby Quiksilver outlet. The Abercrombie store is a little hidden away around the corner behind Regents Street on a street called Burlington Gardens.
Abercrombie is pretty massive in America and the London store is the only outlet in the UK and is known as the UK flagship shop. The shop is somewhat of a tourist attraction …

To be honest there are too many things to do in London usually you end up intending to go somewhere then forget when its on or end up with other plans….
Not to worry though because a lot of great things to do in London are annual and you can also catch them next year and the next time round. For example even after living in London for ages I still haven’t managed to time the Notting Hill Carnival right and always seem to be away that weekend, although I fully …
