Some of the finest albums ever put on vinyl. The booth owner was most sympatico, there in the basement off Brick Lane by Truman brewery's west half. Near the popular Sunday Upmarket, surrounded by clothing booths.

Perhaps Rock's finest frontman. It seems that a young Freddy was once the coat-check attendant at the exclusive Soho rock club that Jimi Hendrix frequented. At such times, Freddy apparently had a chat or two with the superstar guitarist. Jimi's tour manager later went on the become the manager for Queen. No doubt, he had many stories to share.

The Bowie Memorial in Brixton. Its under glass now. I'd asked for directions like a fool, not realizing that it was right behind me! There also some great stencils of him, showing his image from the Thin White Duke-era.

This Elizabethan-era pub right by the Kew stop was once the location for Jimi Hendrix to celebrate during early '67. He and his 2 new bandmates had just posed for some promo fotos taken at nearby Kew Gardens. So much hash was apparently smoked later behind that patio fence shown here, that the shutterbug-in-question remarked recently, "Thank God that we'd arranged a driver to take us back to the City!"

I was part of the crowd at a Q&A held at Rough Trade Record shop for the band 'Porcupine Tree'. The shop was a block from our rental! They were promoting their reunion album. Seen holding the mic, star Gavin Harrison, fresh off drumming for the final 'King Crimson' tour. Leader and guitarist Steve Wilson stares at me. Keyboardist Richard Barbieri, formerly of 'Japan' on left. My question for them: how had Rush influenced their works?

The East End record booth located within the broader 'Backyard' market beside Truman brewery. Amy Winehouse is a recent local heroine. Dunno who those guys are below her, but they'll probably never make it.

Street art is everywhere in East London. Some of it was spray can graffiti, while some of the best was stencil work such as the brilliant Banksy (see more later).

One must sign up ahead to be part of a tour through the historic Dennis Severs House (no 'dustbin lids'...err kids). The building is his imagined portrayal of Huguenot family life, an intimate visit wherein talking is discouraged. After experiencing the several levels and their associated sound effects, visitors may buy beeswax candles and extra-looooong matches.

Plotting the overthrow of Boris (Richmond). The pub shown in Ted Lasso can be seen with the red awning. Btw, only the gatehouse remains of the palace where Henri VIII once spent his adolescence. Sir Attenborough lives close by.

Needs no intro. At the base, we witnessed 'The Purple Primper'. That was the nickname that Mrs Z and I later gave to the young tourist woman who posed for an endless series of Insta photos. It was wince-worthy: duck lips, hands on hips plus every other pose that one could think of. Her lack of regard for those trying to pass on the sidewalk was remarkable.
