  • ooops, sorry about that. I saw it affectionately referred to as a junk shop and assumed it was old signage, what a quirky place though, look forward to popping in

  • Have some rep for saving bike tag. Failed to get the tag, but did quite enjoy reading about the history of cricket and want to look up the CLR James book now.

  • Weirdly (for me) only two days ago I was looking at a 60s paperback about London with an alluring bicycletagofbike title/subject, which contains an illustration of that shop. It describes it as a 'junk' shop I think, though I remember it being being mostly clothes and furs when I was rummaging there regularly in the late 80s.

    I think my next few tags will be other things from the book. It's brilliant.

    Is the clr james book about cricket?

  • Beyond a Boundary - source of the quote "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?" up thread.

  • Beyond a Boundary is one of his criket books. A classic.
    (he wrote about other stuff)

  • Ooh, and I think I have got the new one. Yet another BTOB revelation!

  • I wake up, and all is well with the world once more :)

  • Nice one oat44

    Just one thing:
    It is still a furrier and costumier which opens occasionally and the owner (who lives upstairs) sits outside chatting with passers by and locals. Sunday morning it is often open which is when the farmers market runs.

    On this little dead-end road is:
    a small really cheap Chinese grocery selling some
    a local greasy spoon with outside seating
    An Thai restaurant serving cheap good food in cardboard boxes
    a baker
    and a public loo

    wasnt even aware that this is a full on road and I lived 5 minutes away from there for 8 months

  • Old: Hyde Park pet cemetery, West Carriage Drive

    Scum and Drag etc were apparently names of pets buried there. You can just see the tiny gravestones if you peer through the gate...

    New: Cheeky. Gods waiting room would be in the other (compass) direction...

  • Nice one Nick, a little more info here

  • Well that shut you all up. More clues needed?

  • Not sure if the clue is more specific than I think it is but there are so many Parks, Villas and Gardens, might have to do something rash like get on my bike and cycle round the area.

  • Fairly big assumption that I'm on the right lines anyway, but the architecture fits the area.

  • Lets just say you might find someone eating marmalade sandwiches nearby.

  • Bike Taggers will probably enjoy this:

    I'm expecting a few high scores on here. I got 5/10 though.

  • 9/10. Not bad.

  • It's piss easy. You can zoom around all you like and there are visible street signs etc. However, even without cheating I've had 9/10 and 10/10 scores. Only one wobbly moment in the last one, when at first I didn't recognise Essex Road, which I must have gone up and down several thousands of times.

  • 10/10, but some of the areas are a bit dubious. Victoria is in St James?

  • Indeed = Shaftesbury Avenue near St.James?
    Hmmmm???
    7/10 first time
    10/10 second.
    no googling.

    There was a game here once, wasn't there?
    Just sayin' like.... ;)

  • Is 6 days some kind of record?

  • More clues?

    Childrens TV news presenter to the South, Important Religious guy crossing some water to the north...

  • Me again?

    66 Westbourne Terrace, near Paddington Station

    Feels like I'm playing with myself...

  • ^Pure class!

  • Yaya, well done. Was getting worried there.

    Me again?

    66 Westbourne Terrace, near Paddington Station

    Feels like I'm playing with myself.

    I have no idea who the lady is, but it caught my eye one day while nearby.

  • ^^ Must spread rep, apparently, So much for keeping it in the family. I've got a pretty good idea which bit of London this is, which is the wrong bit for me for the next few days.
