"Geoffs new London Page" London by Geoff_Wright

London Travel Guide: 23,062 reviews and 47,262 photos

My original home was in the county of Surrey, near the River Thames, and only a stone's throw from London. I did actually live in Northeast London for about a year in 1989. I will try to dig out some photos of a better quality, and add some hopefully useful information for the benefit of visitors to our Capital City.

Some photos on this page are downloaded from Ray Farrar's 'Images of England' website (free if due credit is given, which it is!), and those so downloaded will be shown as (IOE) in the text.

Last visit to London: Jun 2003

hello, tell me how it is possible to stay in such a strange hotel like stocks...to much cats, spoilt food, and not nice manager. If you dont want to wait the whole evening for your wine, do NOT choose stocks!
