One week to go! In June 1989,  I organised an alldayer at the Sir George Robey in Finsbury Pk. This was the Guitar Gangsters first-ever gig. Come and celebrate 35 years later at the Water Rats with me as the compère for the evening.  wegottickets.com/event/608564/#

Walking the headstreams of the River Fleet in Hampstead today. The rusty colour of the iron rich chalybeate waters

Yet another excellent Paul Talling walk, this time the River Tyburn all-dayer. Many verbal and physical diversions of course into the worlds of music & Minder. Mid-walk drink stop, Ye Grapes in Shepherd Market, end of walk session at The Grosvenor, very good company as usual.

Another pic of Battersea Power Station interior (during an illicit wander in 2007). Just digging out my old snaps ready for the new Up The Junction: Lost Rivers of Battersea walking tour with copious film, TV and music locations.And a few boozers too... #derelictlondon

Sept 2024. The final days of The Cricketers. I have great memories of gigs here. The story of this place can be found on my Insta page and Vol 1 of my London's Lost Music Venues book

Britt Paul Talling Paul is a great storyteller and character. Loves a bit of punk and does a tour on lost music venues which I have yet to go on. Nice small groups and you’ll invariably end up in a great pub at the end of the tour.

Spotted some of Paul Talling’s presence around Peckham.

Another Paul Talling walk, his newest - 'Up the Junction', Lost Rivers of Battersea. Tracing course of Falcon Brook & Heathwall; observing changes since 'Up the Junction' & the Quadrophenia album booklet; the cafe where A-ha filmed 'Take on Me'; So Solid Crew's estate & more

Sticker Paul Talling The 100 Club

Mr Blue Sky. Some fine dereliction just off Blackheath Hill taken last week on a rare sunny day.

More walking tours for May & June, with tickets on sale from Mon at 8pm. Agency link below. A brand-new tour is along the Thames from St Kath Docks to Vauxhall Br discussing the iconic bridges enhanced with scenes from popular films, TV & music videos wegottickets.com/londonslostriv…

Y'day, 1 of Paul Talling's v fine walking tours. This time, 'Whitechapel & Bethnal Green'. Inevitable Kray references given the area, inevitable Minder reference given it's Paul. And of course derelict (and sometimes resuscitated) pubs and places of musical interest.

New Paul Talling walk. Bridges of London pt 1 - St Katherine's Dock to Vauxhall Bridge. 4 hrs with Paul & various pleasant people. Minder mentioned, of course. Pleasant weather, many settings from music videos & films pointed out, good conversation after in the Grosvenor

Saturday, another excellent Paul Talling walk - Limehouse & Poplar. Dennis Waterman but no Minder; Black Ditch & White Horse; old stations & old pubs; dog memorial & old graffiti; drinks part-way through at Callaghan's & at the end at The Old Ship. Very hot...
