This is a very quiet Polish Club, which acts in sharp contrast with busy Exhibition Road.

The St Bride Foundation is the home of the St Bride Library, an incredible resource of printing history, in the form of books, printed ephemera, and tools from the trade. It also hosts many fantastic talks each year – check their website for details.

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

Misty mornings on the river beat the rest... this pic was taken in February on the Walthamstow marshes.

Great cosy place for anyone in need of cakes and pampering!
