    Some triffic Art Deco on the Golden Mile though. One day I will write a piece on the Seven Wonders of Brentford. Who knew eh?
    It was - never had getting home to the hills of Highgate been as welcoming as the night I worked there during the riots

    Enough to make the strongest man shudder, a.

    A simple, "Why, do I look like a furrin?" should set them straight.

    I once went to Wimbledon by tube. Must have been around 1978. My friend Malcolm and I decided to go to Plough Lane to watch Wimbledon, because they'd recently beaten West Ham in a cup game and that struck us as amusing. It took fúcking hours to get there and then the game was postponed. We went to his Auntie's house nearby and she gave us tea and cake.

    Good. Fúcking. Timez.
    I mean, the last three lines of my address are 'Wimbledon, London, SW19 XXX'.

    So I will have you know that it is London.

    Oh I have no doubt that Wimbledon identifies as London, just as you identify as a doctor and a bearded docker called Keith can identify as a ballerina. Doesn't make any of it true.

    It is a simple rectangle, whose sides are Park Lane in the west, Oxford Street to the north, Kingsway in the east and The Strand along the south.

    There's nothing comp0licated about it.

    I had no idea that London was such a small city, in your eyes.

    Still, this is comforting news having read that detached house prices in London were slumping at 4%pa just yesterday. Clearly my property is not impacted by this

    We've done this before. Sir C's London would make for a very slim volume of the A-Z.

    Truth is, there are many Londons.
