If you ever find yourself shopping on the Kings Road, be sure to visit the treasure-trove emporium that is Wilde Ones. I always get lost for hours in there - it is like stepping back in time to hippy, 70s London ... and I never seem to leave empty handed! The owner, Greg, makes regular visits to Native American tribes in Arizona, where he picks up incredible, hand-crafted and completely authentic pieces of amazing quality.
Have a Hippy Summer.

This statue is located near London Bridge and is 46-feet long and 10-feet high. It features a life-like swimmer swimming through the grass. The statue is made out of polystyrene and is hand painted to resemble human flesh.

Yesterday I had a British moment (OK several hours). Firstly I succombed to a jar of orange marmelade (OK it was Sarabeth's not British). Then I went to see The King's Speech very spur of the moment and I LOVED it, but more about that later.
Have I told you about the London Transport Museum? I don't think I have and it ties in a bit with a small stretch of the imagination...
Probably an oft overlooked London museum - it's really loads of fun.
Floors and floors of British travel immersion awaits you from all periods of history....
AND you can hop aboard many trains...
Just 'Mind the gap', 'Keep clear of the doors' and 'DON'T SPIT'!
It's tucked in a corner of Covent Garden and surrounded by fabulous outdoor eating stalls = not-to-be-missed. Plus your entry ticket is good for a years worth of visits as many times as you wish.
I loved the old graphis particularly...
Some of the best posters ever were created for London transport.
Especially during the Second world War...
When Underground stations became a place of refuge...
Winston Churchill's poster graced the Underground and he's present in...
The King's Speech, based on old diaries found by speech therapist Australian Lionel Logue's grandson in the attic. 
I was expecting the usual Masterpiece Theatre concoction...
Instead it's a griping thriller both brave, witty and all-engrossing with superb acting. I can't think of a better movie to see this holiday week-end. BONJOUR THE KING'S SPEECH!
