Sunday, February 10, 2008Hanway Street, London W1 I've just finished a photo feature on this quiet little street in the centre of London.  Rumoured to be named after Jonas Hanway - the man who introduced the umbrella to the streets of London and faced of a ton of grief from hackney cab drivers for his troubles - it's a fascinating little backstreet. See: Hanway Street feature  On a sadder note, I've had to add another entry to my growing list of Lost Pubs Of Brixton.  The beautiful Loughborough Hotel at 39 Loughborough Road, Brixton, SW9 7TB had already lost its famous ballroom to developers, but it now looks like the pub has gone too.

Nice feature on Hanway Street. I must have another look next time I'm in London.
(BTW, I think the blog is currently missing the link to that feature?)
Cheers Paul - I've put the link in.

By chance, I was drinking in the Spanish Bar last weekend and then seeing a friend DJ in the club next door. The Spanish Bar is an excellent old fashioned West End boozer - full of interesting characters - with a decor that looks unchanged for years. Mind you, the toilets are a bit fierce. << Home
