Every so often I get sent details of events going on in and around Greenwich. If I REALLY like the look of them, I feature them on the blog, but to be honest, there are better places to find out what's on and many things don't make it.
On the other hand, I don't mind adding the occasional plug if I'm sent something and I have the time to post it. So this is the section where I post events coming up. I'm not going to search them out - but if I notice something I like the look of, I'll add it here.
If people send me stuff and I have the time, I'll also post it here, but it will always be at my whim.
It's usually a cut-and-paste thing, so if you send me something short and snappy that I don't have to hack about there is more chance it will go in quickly. And PLEASE - no PDFs unless you really have to. They are the spawn of the devil.
Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London.
I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz.
Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.
