London cited in '12 Top Destinations for African-Diaspora Travel'

  Welcome to February! Since 1970, it's also been Black History Month in the USA, and since 1995 in Canada, as well (whereas it's observed in October in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands). And though the reason for the African diaspora was tragic and horrific - the brutal, centuries-long trafficking of human slaves - it has also enriched many parts of the world, and indeed, world culture as a whole. So what better way to kick BHM off than with a look at a dozen of the most…

    Here at The World on Wheels, we thought we'd lost a batch of photos we took on our first trip to London forever. A house cleaning turned up the photos in a box of CD's, so enjoy some of those restored pictures in today's report on London: http://tinyurl.com/y4us2l9

I remember driving through Erith and getting a distinctly John Wyndham feeling about the place. mind you, I was born and raised in Croydon, so I can't really talk.

    The Black Horse in Bexley comes to mind and I used to have a couple of audit clients in Bromley (W.F. Potts dept store) and in Sidcup ( a haberdasher ) ..i love that word.eh wot?   ...Biggin Hill was my very first flying lesson...and the famous White Hart pub (of The Few Fame) on the A25......Deal Pier for some fishing and a few pints....cheers.
