Ben Wilson, best known for his chewing gum art, once hid lots of tiny artworks across the Tube. It’s always a delight to stumble across one

I’m staying in an Edwardian train carriage and have managed to trap myself in one of its haunted original mirrors. Please help.

Popped to Framlingham with the family “to see the castle”. But really I’m here for the 2 oldest post boxes still in use (1856). What a treat. One of them even features on the village sign.

With Museum of London becoming London Museum, and London Metropolitan Archives becoming London Archives, how long before the City of London becomes London City, or Ralph McTell re-releases London Streets?

Genuine question out of curiosity... if the Tower of London were to lose its World Heritage Site status... what does that actually mean? Would it lose funding or something, or is it just a "nice to have" badge of honour? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Just found in mum’s attic. LOVED these as a kid. Taught me the joy of wordplay. Thank you so much Gyles Brandreth . I’m chuckling anew at this list of names, which were all apparently real. Will pass on to my kids!

After 16 years, I’m taking a break from Twitter until such time as someone turns it around again. Find me over on Substack, which is a (mostly) lovely place for writers and readers, and where I post most of my London stuff. Au revoir! mattlondonexplorer.substack.com
