London streets paved with Gold?

Posted by John Aitken under Hidden London

Busy last few weeks in London town, seen some interesting things, few pics of some of the more interesting, ranging form a gold plated (poss gold paint!)  mini in West London, an average penthouse with Amazing views over Limehouse basin and canary Wharf, shame the interior was very average but the views were some of the best I have ever seen in London from a penthouse, another very average penthouse in Notting Hill but with an amazing terrace overlooking Holland Park, a real location, location, location jobbie..close to the great Coronet cinema where on a Tuesday you can see films for £3.50 took the boss to see Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in Larry Crowe, got some massive brownie points for it being a current RomCom…

Notting Hill

Ah talking about that film, my trusty old ’round London’ Vespa hit a milestones…well euros version 50,000 km..picture to prove it..still going strong…brilliant round town only gripe the tossers at Westminster bike parking, if they insist on pay by phone parking they need to at least make sure it works EVERY TIME I think you have to confirm your options about 10 times, ie press 1 for yes and 2 for no etc, ten minuets on the line pressing yes and no then the payment fails as you don’t confirm payment as the last option, they must be really think, pay for parking and where do most people call from..on the street.. not the quietest place to hear a computer say no for the 11th time do you really want to pay to park today, they should have a press 1 to cut out all the bullshit and just pay to park….contacts entry on my mobile for these guys is ‘Wankers’ simple to remember..apparently difficult to change…perhaps I should find a shorter term of reference for them..any suggestions???

Vespa 50k

What will the next few weeks bring..camera at ready..

Home is…
Where my heart is: San Antonio, Texas.

Where do you stay in London?
I usually stay at Claridge’s, but this time I’m staying at The Soho Hotel where my new perfume is being launched.

What advice would you give a tourist coming to London?
Bring a lot of money to shop! I love the shopping here, especially for clothes.

What’s the best meal you’ve had in London?
I ate last night at Maze with Victoria [Beckham] as well as Gordon and Tana Ramsay. I had the best cocktails: we had this raspberry champagne and a strawberry cream martini. I’m not a big drinker but it was really good there. Soho House has great food as well.
