Famous and Fashionable: Exploring London’s Bond Street (CheapOair)
Famous and Fashionable: Exploring London’s Bond Street
CheapOair, December 27, 2011
For a firsthand look at how London‘s wealthiest prefer to shop and to take a gander at what products the Royal Family deems appropriate for their purchases, head over to Bond Street. This Central London street has been a famous and fashionable shopping district since the 1800s. Despite its elite standing, Bond Street is easy enough to access. Indeed, it has its own Bond Street Tube Station (on the Central and Jubilee lines) at the corner of Bond Street and Oxford Street.

Roganic? Wow!
Great British Chefs, December 16, 2011
What’s small, has a life span of only two years, is 100% British and absolutely delicious … and appears to be thriving in the very heart of London’s urban chic Marylebone village? The answer is Simon Rogan and Penny Tapsell’s Blandford Street eatery, Roganic: a two year pop restaurant ‘passionate about the very best in British natural ingredients all cooked with skill and imagination and served with warmth and style’. Great British Chefs‘ blogger Chris Osburn went along to see what was on offer.

2011 Highlights
Photo by Kemey Lafond
Here’s a round up of all the things I blogged about this year and still have me thinking “yeah, that was awesome” as 2011 now comes to a close. The list isn’t about personal triumphs or such and there are certainly plenty of fine moments that occurred over the past 12 months that I chose not to blather about online or simply didn’t find a chance to put down in keystrokes. For a more personal perspective of why I like 2011 so much, read this Thanksgiving-y post.
2011, the good stuff:
Nevermind the bollocks, I met John Lyden!
Sussex Seafood and Surrey Secret(t)s
Viewing the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge by boat
Ai Weiwei at Somerset House (here too)
The Honours, Martin Wishart’s fantastic Edinburgh brasserie
Gorgeous and great valued lunch at The Corner Room
Hansen & Lydersen Smoked Salmon
A BIG FAT MASSIVE thanks to all my clients, co-conspirators and anybody who helped lead me to an interesting story, great photograph or delicious adventure. Here’s to 2011 – see you in 2012!

Infograph: Superbowl 2011
Fun infograph with everything you wanted to know about Superbowl 2011 … well … except for any info related to American football and the actual game itself. Kind reminds me of the discourse about the London 2012 Olympics: everyone’s talking about the long and short term effects and no one’s saying much about the actual games.

Infograph: History of American Recession
Here’s an interesting infograph that’s pretty relevant what’s happening (or not happening) these days with the economy. I wonder how the Great Recession will be viewed 15 to 20 years from now. Will there be/are we actually in a double dip recession? How long until we’re out of this mess and when’s the next big drop gonna be?

Zoning Out on London’s Underground
OneTravel, Dec 13, 2011
Odds are if you’ll soon be boarding flights to London, you’ll need to go “underground” to get around town. The London Underground, more commonly referred to as the Tube, is London’s underground rail network. To borrow a term from New York City, it’s London’s “subway” and is one of the fastest and easiest ways to access this huge city.
