I Love London Town

  • DJ: Rachel Claire

About:

Rachel Claire (literal Hebrew translation meaning ‘Bright, famous female sheep’) ... (no, really) is a radio presenter-slash-deejay who likes Goats Cheese, Brad Pitt and Jack Daniels. Not together, mind.

Although that sounds like a damn good Friday night.

To all Londoners, she’s Northern ...because she’s not Southern. Actually originating from Lincoln. In the Midlands. She loves not paying £4.50 for a bevy. She likes not being run over by taxis or mental-speedy people in condom-tight spandex on bikes. She also quite takes a fancy to not having to take fourteen tubes to buy a pint of milk.

In other words, she’s a newbie. She’s sworn to get to know London and to get under its proverbial skin, to undress the city with her tourism paws, to chat it up and metaphorically buy the capital a few drinks until it passes out and throws up in her lap. The usual Northern method of charm. Ok, the Midlands.

Join her as she does all the unorthodox things to be done round this place, which maybe even Londoners might not know about unless they were told. Are there Open University courses which teach Cockney Rhyming Slang? Are there hidden museums which offer free pork pies and show nothing but hair and toe nail clippings from ancient Egyptians? How many people have posed in front of the Cockfosters tube station sign? Can you catch your own fish from the Thames, take it to a restaurant and make your own Sushi??

All examples out of her own head, but these are questions she wants answered as she sets off on a mission to be able to properly say the words: "I Love London Town."

    Being from London (well Surrey) and going to University in the mids… I've had the opposite transition… I always get frustrated with people who stand on the wrong side of the escalator and defo don't move!
    Found 2 underground bars in London town, latin dance and soul in the cellar and they were amazing! I would defo recommend going! :)
    Do you take suggestions? I've got loads! :P

    Hello Rachel Claire,

    If you’d like to come on a ‘Pay what you want’ walk around London with me, then you’re most welcome. You don’t have to of course, but if you’d like to then that’d be great, seeing as you’re in London exploring mode. Currently doing two Saturday walks which are pretty centralish and a Sunday east end, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Old Street, Columbia Rd & Spitalfields bonanza. 

    More details and booking info are at http://www.bowlofchalk.net or you can email me at jonnie(at)bowlofchalk(dot)net.

    Oh yeah … it’s called Bowl Of Chalk.

    Also, the offer’s open to anyone else too if you fancy it. Hopefully fun, informal and full of factoids.

    Byeeeee ….

    Jonnie
