Guided walk for Allied Irish Bank

I gave a guided walk for the Allied Irish Bank (GB) - Great Britain, Angel Court.

We started at the 'Red Herring' fullers pub in Gresham Street and walked to Guildhall, St Mary Aldermary, St Albans Wood Street, High Walk, St Alphage, Aldersgate St, Postman's Park, Smithfield, St Barts, St Saviours, Old Bailey.

Then in poured so we rushed to the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese for some sandwiches.

Went very well, I think, and they were very nice people, many Irish. They heard of me because of personal recommendation from Charlotte at Cloth Fair Barristers.

How London is Divided Up

A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
