Did this 2 years ago for @londoninbits to mark LGBT+ History Month. It's my personal journey about 'the evolution of London’s gay scene through the AIDS crisis, Section 28, and the second Summer of Love'. bit.ly/3trsPKh
Interesting that Airbnb is pitching itself as Housing Benefit: "Airbnb was built to help people afford to stay in their homes... as living costs rise, hosting is a valuable source of income that helps people pay rent, mortgages, food and energy costs." lettingagenttoday.co.uk/breaking-news/…
I did an interview with @londoninbits on the strange experience of using a Lidar 3D scanner to document offshore tax-haven owned property in London 🔎 Cheers to @HinchcliffE and the LiB team for this. Article here: londoninbits.substack.com/p/shining-a-li…
Thanks to @londoninbits for asking me to talk about my favourite restaurant before/if it disappears. I picked the wonderful Estrela bar in London’s sometimes under appreciated Little Portugal. Read the interview here: londoninbits.substack.com/p/1c982dac-0e8…
Lovely interview via @londoninbits with my former tutor Midge Gilles on her social history of Piccadilly Circus, the third magnetic pole. I love the magnetism of this waitress at the Rainbow Corner in 1945. londoninbits.substack.com/p/oh-what-a-ci…
I'm looking forward to discussing 'Trees, Ada and the Urban Forest' on Thursday evening in #Bermondsey with @SalterCentenary @RachelBentleyNB @BermondseyTrees @kaushal_maru Do join us!
Yes, we sent out our Weekend Roundup a whole day early (sorry, it's not Saturday yet). No, it wasn't Substack's fault (it's been a long week). Yes, you're allowed to take the piss out of us (but only for 24 hours). londoninbits.substack.com/p/weekend-roun…
@londoninbits Excellent piece about the toxic world of Stringfellows. Deserves to be widely read.
Lovely piece on @londoninbits about Bar Bruno and the importance of celebrating the local greasy spoon, even if it’s not Instagram friendly. londoninbits.substack.com/p/before-you-g…
Thanks @londoninbits for letting me pen a little something on one of my British films, Neil Jordan’s MONA LISA. It’s behind a paywall but the first part’s available for a peek - kick ‘em some change tho, they’re fab! londoninbits.substack.com/p/electric-the…

This (with thanks to @helenbarrett for the spot) is fabulous. A decent test of character is to check if someone knows this place. Bradley's : Lager and Shots in No-Man's Land londoninbits.substack.com/p/bradleys-lag…
One of my favourite London haunts. Met lots of weird and wonderful people in there, including the Bjork era Sugarcubes. "White Horses" by Jackie Lee on the jukebox was always a favourite.

@garius @londoninbits Very glad you wrote this - I may never get back into central London again, but this morning you've reminded me of a meet-up with some old Uni chums there many moons ago! Thank you!🌷
It must be 10yrs since I went here, and that tiny club a few doors down. Reminded of sthg Alan Moore said: “People will say ‘well, you can say that about anywhere.’ And I would say that is precisely the point.” We all have those places and history is everywhere. Cheers @garius

@londoninbits @garius First went to Bradley's in 1977 or '78 and quite often during the' 80s when I had my studio just round the corner in Rathbone Place. One of London's best kept secrets.
@londoninbits @garius One of my favourite drinking dens in the 80s. ‘Rawhide’ on the jukebox and rum and cokes in the downstairs cavern.
@helenbarrett @garius Does anyone remember the name of the after-after hours club (again, very Spanish) which was in the basement of the bar opposite the Dorada? Underground, total firetrap, sweat (or damp?) running down the walls?
