Mod, you live in London. Right? Because pr harries are still arguing that Taylor was papped in Camden and not where harey lives .

One of them said the trash can says Camden but Hampstead is in Camden (the borough) so plaques will have the borough’s name 🤗 yet, Camden is a huge borough and Hampstead is big too so she could be literally opposite of his house or more central but still in Camden ! And then....Saying this bc I don’t think a lot of people know about London’s boroughs and that Hampstead is in Camden borough

I already explained this yesterday. Camden is a huge borough which runs as far south as Covent Garden. All the waste disposal and recycling is managed by the borough, not the specific area, so the skips and bins all over the entire borough say Camden on them.

You can see from this map that Hampstead is small compared to the overall size of Camden borough. I guarantee that Taylor has not taken little Root into crowded Camden Town for a walk. She's in Hampstead.

Falling birth rates and maternity units under threat in North Central London NHS area

Barnet, Enfield, Camden, Haringey, and Islington health overview scrutiny committee. Image: Haringey Council. Falling birth rates, low staff morale and trust across the NHS in North Central London have raised concern among councillors.  During a North Central London joint health overview and scrutiny committee on Friday 31 May councillors discussed concerning statistics with North Central…

[metrocentric]

"After the incident went viral, Camden Council initially posted on X, formerly Twitter, that it “had no role in enforcing this eviction”. The council deleted the post, stating instead it had ordered an “urgent investigation” into what happened, which later found that there was “operational involvement” from Camden."

Camden Council's original statement was misleading, and they knew it. The destruction of tents and other possessions is a key part of the enforcement activity: to punish the homeless.

🇬🇧 My First Day in London! Harry Potter Sites, Weekend Markets, and Vega...

[becks-magenta]

Several years ago I decided to make a spontaneous trip to London for my 30th birthday. I had just enough airline points save up to fly both me and my partner, and just enough hotel points for four nights at a hotel. Spending so many years traveling for work, it’s rare that I get an international adventure all to myself - I was ecstatic.

Because my birthday is in December, our trip was the week before Christmas. We spent time exploring Borough Market, enjoyed street art in Shoreditch, soaked in the vibes in Camden, and so much more.

Every December as I get ready for Christmas Day, I’m brought back to the lovely, spontaneous, adventurous trip we took that year. It taught me to say “yes” to that weird “what if we tried this” moment more often. So, when I’m doing, take that spontaneous trip.

Hello Thea, what’s some stuff you like to do in London? I’m here for Macbeth and I have some stuff I want to see, but I was wondering what all you like to do when you’re here

Hi! These are my favorite London activities:

-going to the free gallery at Somerset House and then walking to Camden Market afterwards to grab a drink and snack on the lower level where there’s usually live music in the afternoons

-going on a long walk through St. James’s park and across one of the bridges and then walking all the way to borough market for a treat at the end of the long walk

-Dishoom

-going browsing/walking/shopping in Camden

-I liked the London Eye and I think it’s the one touristy thing that’s kind of worth doing once. The tickets were expensive if I remember correctly.

-walking along the south bank from the national theatre to the London Eye/Waterloo Pier and then going on the Uber boat for a few stops

-the Tate

Bakery Love Story Headcanons w/ Papa Solomons

And a wee bit of a CoD crossover

TH Masterlist

He knows you hate closing shifts, but asks you to work them regardless if he’s on them too.

Truth be told, you don’t mind when it’s just you two because you get on surprisingly well in spite of your differences.

Alfie keeps you out of the bakery’s kitchen as much as possible. Partially because he doesn’t want you around the ovens lest you burn yourself. It’s fine for bread to burn, but your skin?

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!

So you stay out front or only venture there to help Alfie carry bread or pastries or prepare sandwiches. Otherwise, you’re in the front as a barista.

He only trusts Ollie with your company.

Takes you with him when he goes ingredient shopping. He’ll pick you up at the crack of dawn to go to Borough Market with him.

However, those morning ventures aren’t solely about food. Various recent reviews have mentioned the wee bouquets dotted around the place, which has helped increase business. So he also needs your help with choosing this week’s flowers.

Although, it’s better to say they’re your responsibility since you’re the one who offered the golden idea. The price tag doesn’t matter, he’ll pay since your word is gospel to him.

He makes you breakfast when you have to open as well. It’s rare for you to work so early in the morning, but if you do it’s with Alfie. He doesn’t mind having to leave the house a little earlier to pick you up. After all, even at dawn and especially during the first hours of a winter morning, London isn’t safe.

What boss lets his female employee take such risk?

That’s the angle Alfie forces himself to take. Yet, despite the effort and struggle he hides because of it, it’s not a perspective he can maintain. Henceforth, he often finds himself following the train of thought he can’t shake off.

What king puts his queen in danger? What absolutely fucking sodden bastard leaves his girl to her own devices amongst predators and shadows?

NOT the King of Camden.

He likes how you hum or quietly sing along to Ed Sheeran’s songs. Alfie absolutely still doesn’t like the style nor genre, but he does if it’s you providing the vocals. In fact, he likes it so much he occasionally catches himself blatantly staring at you, utterly mesmerized by your presence.

Regardless of whether you’ve had your allotted breaks, as soon as he notices a dip in your energy, he’ll kindly coerce you to take one. Alfie especially likes the ones when it’s you two leaning against the counter, observing the customers while having a cuppa.

And the customers like to keep an eye on you two as well. The latest hot gossip is all about “the bird and the King” and how “there’ll perhaps be a gentler reign of the borough”.

Maybe there will be. Alfie tries to reign himself in when he’s around you, finds serenity in the feeling of your hand on his shoulder to signal to pipe down or let you take over lest things get out of control.

Lately he’s been into hugs. Like, he’ll pick you up and the first thing your groggy head has to deal with is a bear hug and sometimes being lifted into the air.

He can’t stop replaying the moment you compared hands. Can’t stop thinking about the confirmation of the size difference between you, yours much smaller than his. Ever since, Alfie sometimes allows to indulge himself by holding hands.

Out of sight of the other men, of course! Can’t have them tattering on like elderly ladies during afternoon high tea.

But his dreaming always gets rudely interrupted when a particular customer comes in. It doesn’t take long for Alfie to figure out who the stranger is because he needs “to know who comes in and out of me bloody kingdom” and the King has plenty of ears in the streets. So it doesn’t take long for him to acquire a name and the man’s background.

John Price, a captain in the British Army who went through enough to drive any man insane. Saw Hell itself.

Damaged beyond repair like him.

Yet a good man who’s trying to court his secret favourite dove.

A good man who can offer her more than an old gang boss can.

Nonetheless, there’s the toxic burn of jealousy mixed with seething rage whenever he sees you two talk. Sees how well you get along.

Alfie has to force himself to walk away, to rampage in the background among the men when he sees how Price makes you smile and blush. Fortunately, there’s soundproofing in the building. Otherwise, the customers and you would find out his anger is even more white hot than the ovens.

And he reaches the boiling point more often from the day the captain’s cologne becomes more noticeable on you. It’s an unfair trigger to pull on an honourable man. Or so he keeps grumbling and effin and blindin about despite knowing better.

Despite knowing he’s simply too late.

He hates how you’re inconsolable when John’s sent out on a mission. Doesn’t matter how long or short it is.

Now, the King of Camden is a master when it comes to the art of masks so the front you try to put up is nothing but a crumbling act to him. Dips in energy, distant gazes, little eating, they’re all tell-tale signs you miss your captain. Nonetheless, being an opportunist, Alfie uses the circumstances to his advantage by cooking and cleaning for you. Sometimes he even stays the night, but only when you ask him to. To others it may sound odd, asking your boss to stay with you, but to you it doesn’t because Alfie isn’t simply your boss.

He’s a very dear friend.

(And your protector, your “guardian fucking golem”)

Alfie doesn’t ask about your dates, but will occasionally indulge you when he notices you’re afraid to talk about them even though you really want to.

“‘Ow was your date?” he asks on such a morning while cleaning up the dishes of your impromptu breakfast. That small moment during which you shared the food he prepared. Those few minutes in which it was just you two. Together.

“It was really nice. We got coffee and walked around Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park for a bit.” As per usual, you don’t dare meet his gaze because you fear your happiness and excitement will wear him down. It’s part of the reason you avoid using John’s name. After all, the badly concealed frown hasn’t gone unnoticed.

“I ‘ope ‘e’s the one who paid.”

“He did.”

“‘E treating you well?”

“Yeah, he does.”

“Good. That’s good.”

“Alfie, alright?”

“Yeah, just… just in me own noggin. You know me. I’m glad you ‘ad a good time. Otherwise I’d ban ‘im from the bakery. The whole fucking borough. ‘E’d be-“

“Thank you.”

Alfie’s surprised you cut him off. Had it been anyone else, they’d likely be face flat on the ground and a wiser person for it, but if it’s you he doesn’t mind. In fact, when the conversation turns towards your love life and John, he’s glad you shut him up. After all, what do you care for his feelings? They’re unreciprocated anyways. “For what?”

“For letting me talk about him. I… I got the impression you didn’t want me to.”

“You let me talk about whatever, so why wouldn’t I return the favour? But enough chit chat. Come on, we got work to do.”

If only to forget about the plot he might have for a new Edna Specter novel.

The Tragedy of Alfie Solomons.

The Baker with a broken heart.

Bonus:

Oh gods, imagine Alfie and Price having a stare-off when Alfie picks you up at your place and John stayed the night. To make matters worse, the captain knows about the King’s feelings for you.🙀

P.S: I’m sorry, but I have to include more Barry Sloane because this man has me in an ABSOLUTE CHOKEHOLD🥵😻

Hi Poppy! How was your trip? :D

Ooh, lots of fun! It was hub's and my 25th wedding anniversary trip, the first trip we've taken, just the two of us, since our honeymoon. It was my husband's first trip outside N. America (my second; we're so adventurous).

Edinburgh was lovely as always and I got to visit (twice!) my favourite painting of Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus by Gavin Hamilton.

It's so much more beautiful in person, and I could talk about it all day. Just ask my Facebook friends, they'll tell you that's no lie.

"Enbra" was P A C K E D with tourists, shoulder to shoulder every damn where, but that's to be expected in summer. We took a day trip to Rosslyn Chapel (made famous in The Da Vinci Code, but that's not why we went), visited the National Gallery and the National Museum of Scotland (Dolly the cloned sheep is preserved there, and they have a very good Fashion gallery, including a few items by Alexander McQueen), and took a tour of a whisky distillery (with tasting!). I tried Irn Bru and Monster Munch, both for the first time. We went in Boots once, to get an emery board (my nails all decided to crack, peel, and become snaggly/scratchy for the duration of this trip, it was weird), and there was a DJ! Hilarious. Scottish people are lovely and kind, and no matter how fashionable/dressed up an Edinburgh woman is, she wears sensible shoes. I admire this immensely.

We spent a day in Melrose, Scotland, which is south of Edinburgh in what They call "the Borders" area of the UK. Melrose Abbey was impressive, we had lunch in a very British hotel restaurant (like the one in Fawlty Towers), and experienced how truly dog-mad Scotland is; we met about 60 local dogs and only about 40 local people. I swear you must get a dog with the key to yr flat, there. We also visited a small museum of Roman artifacts from the site of a nearby fort.

Spent one evening/overnight in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, the northernmost town in England--it was still light out at 10:15 when we left the restaurant where we ate dinner--which may be a name familiar to you if you are a fan of my fight!lock stories. Solely because it was a long journey by train from London, and sounded quaint, I sent John there to do some doctoring when he wasn't with Sherlock. Turns out it's the closest place to get a train to London, from Melrose.

London was London-y. We did all the things: the Tower of London, walked the south bank of the Thames, Big Ben/Parliament, stood at the fence of Buckingham Palace awaiting a guard change that never happened, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Borough Market, Camden Market/Camden High Street, V & A Museum, National Gallery.

A definite highlight was seeing Richard III performed by a fantastic all-female cast in Shakespeare's Globe theater. Absolutely recommend seeing Shakespeare at the Globe if you go to London; a completely unique experience.

The weather was H O T and if you ever needed proof that first world countries aren't coping quickly or well with climate change, just ride the London tube, or spend time in almost any indoor space in Britain. There is no air conditioning. It's no wonder heat waves have been killing Britons for the last few summers; the infrastructure is not set up to cope with the temperatures they're getting. We stood aside at one tube station to let cops and medics rush by us to attend to someone who had just been taken off a train and left on the platform (as signage instructs passengers to do) because of fainting from the heat.

There is no such thing as a cold drink in the UK! You can go into a shop and buy a can of Coke or sparkling water, and it is cool, but not cold. When servers heard our accents they would put two ice cubes in our glass at restaurants, but that's not enough. The only truly cold drinks I had there all ten days were gin & tonics, Aperol spritzes, and ciders. Alcohol comes iced; everything else--even the tap water!--just doesn't come cold. It was my only complaint.

Thanks for asking! Great to be home, of course, but it was a lovely ten days.

hang on. there is actually a station in london called pancreas?? is it on the red line too this is very important information

i'm not a Londoner, nor from the UK, I don't know if it's on the red line. 😭😭 The only thing I know is that it's the terminus for the Eurostar, coming from Paris. @emmalovesfitzloved could help you with this one.

this is what I found on wiki.

"St Pancras railway station (/ˈpæŋkrəs/), officially known since 2007 as London St Pancras International, is a central London railway terminus on Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden. It is the terminus for Eurostar services from Belgium, France and the Netherlands to London.

St Pancras Railway Station, also known as London St Pancras or St Pancras International, and officially as London St Pancras International since 2007, is a central London railway terminus on Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden.

St Pancras Station opened in 1868 and is one of the wonders of Victorian engineering.

Along with the former Midland Grand Hotel, it is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture and one of the most elegant stations in the world.

It was built by the Midland Railway Company (MRC) to connect London with some of England’s major cities and was intended to make a grand statement about the Company with a display of physical magnificence.

CAMDEN'S ANNUAL ITALIAN STREET FESTIVAL:

Location: The Borough of Camden. Hosts: The British-Italian community of London. Date: 19th of July - 21st of July. Dress Code: None.

EVENT SUMMARY:

It's once again time for Camden's annual celebration of Italian pride! Whether you hail from the homeland or not, all are welcome to come and enjoy a weekend celebrating one of Europe's richest and most beautiful cultures. There will be distinct representation from Sicilia, Lazio, Calabria, Abruzzo, Veneto, and of course, thanks to London's thriving Neapolitan community, Campania, all showing off the best their region has to offer. The well loved and long established festival brings together people from all over the city to enjoy good food, even better company, and endless entertainment. The canals will be lined with tables for people to dine at; catered to by the authentic street vendors and fresh food stalls boasting the best Italian cuisine outside of the country itself. The market will be transformed to offer art, clothing, wine, and much more, created either by the community itself, or imported directly from Italy. When evening starts to fall, though? Grab your sambuca shots, wait for the music to fill the air, and watch as the real party begins. Primrose Hill will play host to a mini music festival all of its own on all three days, with a spotlight on both upcoming and established British-Italian musicians throughout the day and well into the night. Rumours say there might even be some guest appearances from Italian artists, too. And yes, there will be pop up bars and grab-and-go Neapolitan pizza ready for you. We're not forgetting this is still London and you're all messy af...

MAIN POINTS OF INTEREST:

Cheese & Wine Tasting (Friday afternoon) - What better way to get things started than sampling Italy's two most beloved exports? Offering a spectacular selection of Sicilian wines (thanks @ Mount Etna for your service), a laid-back wine tasting event will take place for anyone (old enough, you little shits) to enjoy. You'll also get to vote which region has the best cheese. Fight to the death, tbh.

Dinner & Dance (Friday night) - Once you're all sufficiently drunk on Sicily's offerings, the traditional live bands will start to play canal-side. Laze beside the water with your dinner, enjoy the warm weather, and be transported to the streets of Italy as you eat your bodyweight in pasta.

Pizza Making (Saturday afternoon) - If you're not too hungover from necking sambuca shots at the festival in the park, or from finishing that bottle of wine you probably shouldn't have, try your hand at making authentic Neapolitan pizza with some of the best chef's Camden's Italian scene has to offer. What do you win? Pride, bitch. That's all you need. You're Italian.

A Taste of the Opera (Saturday evening) - Fancy a spectacular rendition of Rigoletto? Probably not, you cultureless heathens, but the offer is there... Enjoy Verdi's masterpiece in the local community theatre, courtesy of the local youth operatic society. Support the local arts, bro.

Mini Venetian-Style Carnival (Sunday afternoon) - Yes, of course it's after Mass, don't worry... Head back down to the canal once more to watch London's best attempt at capturing the beauty and artistry of the Venetian Carnival. You'll also have a chance to make your own Venetian-style masks with the help of local artists. The creepier looking the better, apparently.

Drunk Shenanigans (All nights) - Because there's alcohol available from the vendors, and you've got an excuse to party in the streets? Go wild, bro.

[uswnt5]

London anon here! Here’s my list of things to do, hope this is useful for yall :)

classic things to see/do if you’ve never been to London:

London eye (personally I don’t think it’s worth actually going up but up to)

Big Ben and houses of parliament ( I find the best pics on to stand on the bridge closest to Big Ben in the evening/night)

Buckingham palace (they have a changing of the guard at specific times which I don’t remember that’s fun to watch)

London Bridge and tower bridge

Tower of London (my personal fav)

Trafalgar Square (just a classic square tbh) and Piccadilly Circus (big billboards and the big shopping streets nearby)

Covent garden (shopping and aesthetic)

Good food markets: Camden, Spitalfields, borough, portobello

Most of our museums are free and fun if you have time as well!

Tall building viewpoints

Obvs there’s the shard, but there’s also sky garden (do have to book and pay for tho), there’s also a free alternative called garden at 120.

hope this helps!! Happy to answer more qs, the tube/ busesis fairly easy and intuitive (can use citymapper) and might be worth getting a week pass, or Apple Pay works too

Thanks London anon!

[greeneyed-thestral]

Hi, as a resident of London (who works at Scotland Yard) I would suggest...

You can't possibly do all of that long list in a few days! If i were you, I'd prioritise and get your faves done first...

Parks = St James Park and Hyde Park are more central and much prettier than the others, which are further out and can get a bit rough after dark

Mme Tussards is always a bit of a let down, say tourists

Camden Town - go in daylight, it can be rough walking to and from the local transport at night

Use the tube rather than buses, (the tube is safe and reliable), and if you must bus - use the bottom deck, not the top.

The weather is v changeable (13-23°c this week), take layers! And a light raincoat/umbrella, of course.

You can go to the British Museum just for food, but it's overpriced mediocre food.

If you want to tick off a lot on your list in one go, my fave walk in London is down the South Bank... get off at London Bridge tube, go through Borough Market (thurs-sun it is the oldest, biggest and best food market in the country, its wonderful!) and its a Sherlock set, see Southwark Cathedral (DW Lazarus set) the Golden Hinde ship, down Clink St to the river, then walk down the riverside and see St Pauls, The Globe, Tate Modern, National Theatre, The Sherlock skatepark, Houses of Parliament, the BFI, the outdoor book market, London Eye, and then its across the Bridge to Scotland Yard. All in just over an hour! 🙂

London is a safe city, so long as you aren't out alone at midnight, and you dont wander about with google maps up on your phone, looking lost (then you'll be a target for muggers) but otherwise its absolutely fine.

Have a lovely time!

Hi! This is very helpful!!!✨

I know, the list is waaay too ambitious, since I'm staying for less than four days xD I really just wrote down all the places I could find from series, so that if I happen to find myself there I would be aware. Most places I guess I will just photograph from the street and not actually go inside and visit.

Thank you for all the tips, especially the ones about the South Bank walk! Thank you so so much, Scotland Yard anon!💖
