Handyman, Central London stroll, photos of Trafalgar Square, Charing Cross Road, Soho and Mayfair, London, January, 2007
This guy's great. Billed as 'The Singing Handyman,' he drives around London singing over 1950s tracks which blare out from his bubble-producing van.

Spooky CCTV car. There's actually two officers in there - I didn't see them until after I'd taken the picture and they definitely did not look happy!

Clachan, 34 Kingly Street, London January, 2007
Once part of the adjacent Liberty store, the Clachan pub on 34 Kingly Street sports a remarkably ornate Victorian facade. The pub's well worth a visit too.

Closed after making international news revealing that former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko was external link possibly poisoned by the radioactive agent polonium 210 here, the Itsu sushi bar on Piccadilly has tried to put a positive PR spin on events.

The restaurant window now sports a James Bond graphic and - rather bizarrely - boasts that, "an international espionage incident has transformed this Itsu into a world famous meeting place..."

I guess that's one way of describing a radioactive restaurant.

Green Park tube, London, January, 2007
Green Park tube sign. I like Green Park - it must be one of the very few tube stations that has an exit leading directly into a park.
