Music in Mayfair!
Strolling through Mayfair today, as one does, I could hear music playing. It was a wind quintet at Brown Hart Gardens (close to Bond Street tube station on Oxford Street). They are having concerts there, every Friday in the summer. More info below.
According to their website, the musicians are: Flute - Julian Sperry, Oboe - Judy Proctor, Clarinet - Jane Calderbank, Bassoon - Stuart Russell and Horn - Adam Walters. Adam on the horn, looks quite fetching! Related Links brownhartgardens.co.uk Posted in categories Events People Places Post URL http://londontownblog.com/posts.php?post=6 |

Flying-Ants Day!
Just spotted a lot of flying-ants about the place. You seem to get them for one or two days in the year, then you never see them again.
Must be great if you're a swallow, a swift or a house martin! Update 25th July 2009: Just spotted another swarm of them! Looks like they don't just come out for one day! Posted in categories Nature Post URL http://londontownblog.com/posts.php?post=5 |

Invisible Menders
There's a shop next to me, called "Invisible Menders". I just walked past it, I could clearly see the menders inside, mending away.
I think at the very least, we could be looking at contraventions of the Trade Descriptions Act here. Posted in categories General Post URL http://londontownblog.com/posts.php?post=4 |

Ferrari Shop
A new Ferrari shop has opened on Regent Street, across from Hamley's toy shop. The picture opposite is taken from the pavement outside, looking into the shop. That's a real car, and there's a real engine beside it!
Prices were a bit steep. Was about £30-£40 for a tee shirt! Posted in categories Cars Places Post URL http://londontownblog.com/posts.php?post=3 |

Snazzy Cars!!
One of the things I love about London Town are the snazzy cars! Some pics opposite.
The Bugatti Veyron was parked outside the Westbury hotel, 37 Conduit Street, in Mayfair on June 26th 2009. It was really stunning...EVERY bloke that passed it, took a picture of it!! Here's a nice orange Lamborghini Murcielago SV (as if they could be anything but nice!) photographed next to the London Lamborghini showroom in South Kensington on July 10th 2009. Looked like the guy was just picking it up. I spotted the grey Lambo on the same day as the orange one. It was outside the Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane. The number plate looks Arabic to me (not being an expert on such matters). I reckon the driver probably owns an oil well or two!!
