The sun is shining, summer is a-coming in, and I’ve just remembered that I’m a naturist. I’m not a balls-out, nude in front of the barbecue sort of naturist, I just like lolling about nude when its hot. I’m like those half-arsed vegetarians who eat fish and the occasional sausage. Nudism isn&...

As summer is on its way, what are all your plans of making the most of it? Mine will be spending many days lying in the park, probably going to Greenwich for the day and hitting every beer garden this fine city has to offer (Also I’ll be going to Brighton for the day but that’s not London). What about th...

If you have a travel card or always money on your oyster (or are naugthy and don’t pay on the overland) then you ca...

Now that the weather is turning lovely, pubs with gardens are at a premium. But where are the best ones? I’m specially interested in pub gardens that actually have some proper greenery, as opposed to just concrete. Thanks.

I’ve just recently taken up swimming and it’s been a blast. I’m now just looking for those swimming park places. I remember when I was young going to Water Palace, to the best of my knowledge I think it was in Croydon, but it got shut down for some reason (if you know why, note it here as well please). This place ha...

I must and shall get wet this summer… just as soon as the summer begins. But where to go? A Google search on London Lidos throws up a fair bit of stuff – mostly about how all the lidos are either closing, have already closed or are struggling to stay open. Anyway the nearest ones to me are Brockwell Park...

My holiday plan this year was to take some time off and hang out in London – as we were supposed to be having a ‘heat-wave summer’. Well, that didn’t work. And now work committments have meant that I can’t go take any time off until October. So, and I know this isn’t strictly abou...

I’ve been given the task of finding something to keep my boss’ 5 yr old nephew occupied during the summer when he’ll be staying here in London. He’s English, but lives in Italy, semi-fluent in Italian. He’s precocious and the problem is not that he needs looking after, more that he n...
Coolest tube station/platform?

Which one is the coolest (in temperature terms) Tube station/platform. With the advent of the summer it would be a good idea to list fresh tube station/platforms around the underground. Particularly when TfL isn’t solving the heat problems in the tube any time soon. Today I came out in Pimlico and I notic...

I’m doing some work on offices/workplaces that are built to look nice but are a nightmare to work in the minute the temperature rises. Any examples of oven offices much appreciated (anon if necess). Dave

I just saw someone in another thread arranging a book group meeting for September and my heart fell out of my trousers. September? SEPTEMBER? That’s right. September. It’s already a little over six weeks away. The summer is already nearly over – and it never even started. So my question is this: ...
Looking to play football

I am looking for a team to play football in a summer league. I have looked all over but it seems like everywhere requires you to bring a team to the league, and not join individually. Also, I haven’t played for years and years so it would have to be a fun league. Any ideas? Thanks

Every summer there seems to be double the amount of festivals in London than there was the year before; what are your favourites and why? Which ones would you pay to get in to or do you just like freebies? Does a ‘cause’ attract you or are you only interested in hedonism? Cx

Since the ole global warming ting has got us in its grasp, should we consider a big old ramshackle picnic type event in the summer in some park or other? As an FCL do?

Sunday on the Central line was pretty vile, even though I was only on there for a short while. My current commute involves sitting on the Jubilee line for an hour each way. Thinking about what it will be like in July makes me want to cry. We can put a man on the moon but we can’t put ventilation on the undergro...

One of my best last year was the Camra beer festival...

I have a bit of a thing for open air cinema, and when summer kicks in I really like to wander along with a blanket and a picnic to watch films. For the past couple of years The Scoop, next to the GLA, has had a series of free films, their official website is down (I blame BoJo) but the programme’s here: http:...
