Of Banksy and east london

A Banksy pilgrimage is a must for any wannabe 'Londoner'. Start at Essex Road, walk up to Angel, then to Old street and East London - move on after that to Bethnal Green. Revel in the walk and inhale the textures and smells and sights that are Banksy's London.

'If the foolish, call them "flowers"'

London had flower stores in abundance back in January - some open till very late at night - imagine what it will be like come summer.
