Pretty much every tourist in London seems to be walking the streets armed with a camera
of some sort. Digital cameras are now available in all shapes, colours and sizes. It is well
worth investing in a decent priced camera before visiting London or if you are planning

it can be difficult to walk around the capital without spotting something worthwhile
grabbing a photo …

London is visited by over 26 million tourists each year and with hundreds of attractions and sites to come and see it’s not difficult to see why. My flat alone seems to be visited by hundreds of friends and family throughout the year, wanting to see the tourist spots at the weekend!
Flying to London can be pricy depending on where you book your flights, make sure you search around the internet for cheap flights before booking. There are often has good deals and is worth checking out, Heathrow airport alone handles 22,000 flights a month …

Since the Boris Bikes sprouted up in London there has been a massive increase in new cyclists on the streets of London town.
In conjunction with the cycle to work scheme this has meant lots of Londoner’s have adopted bikes as their preferred method of transport. I have been cycling around London for quite a while now and much prefer it to taking the bus or getting on the dreaded tube!
Taking to two wheels on the streets of London can be dangerous so I have put together a list of safety …

Recently I attended a studio lighting for portraits class at Photography Course London which was held in a studio in deepest Hackney Wick and run by Cleveland Aaron who is a highly regarded photographer who has worked in the music, fashion and portraiture industry.

So the day had finally come..I was decked out, as instructed, in Bedoiun attire (um..a red bedsheet that I got tangled up in and almost tripped up on more than once..) and was eagerly anticipating what was awaiting me at Alexandra Palace station.

Oooh I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting to go a Secret Cinema event for a long time now but haven’t quite got my act together.. just to fill you in, Secret Cinema is a group of genius individuals who create screenings of popular cult films in the theme of the film itself.

You are given a few cryptic clues such as …

We were recently asked to take a look at an ebook from London Cyclist called ‘25 London Cycle Routes’, which unsurprisingly is a list of 25 cycling trips in London. The book costs around seven pounds - which is really decent considering you get lots of ideas for trips out on your bike.
