Random borough (10): It's time once again for me to take another random trip to one of London's 33 boroughs). Can you believe this is number 10? As I write I have no idea which one of the 24 remaining names will be on the folded slip of paper I'm about to pick from my "special jamjar"TM. I could pick any of London's other boroughs - inner or outer, urban or suburban, tiny or vast, fascinating or dull. I just know it won't be Merton, Islington, Enfield, Sutton, Lewisham, Southwark, Kensington & Chelsea, Hackney or Hillingdon because they're the nine (dark grey) boroughs I've picked out already. At least now I've ticked off Hillingdon I know I haven't got quite so far to travel this time. Maybe today I'll end up somewhere rather more east, because I haven't been out east yet. Or maybe not.
Once I've researched my randomly-chosen borough online then I'll head off and visit some of its most interesting places (assuming it has any, of course). As usual I hope to visit somewhere famous, somewhere historic, somewhere pretty, somewhere retail, somewhere sporty and somewhere random. I might even take lots of photographs while I'm at it, if the borough's photogenic enough. Fingers crossed it's not somewhere beset by weekend engineering work, although knowing my luck it probably will be. Then after I've made my grand tour I'll come back tomorrow and tell you all about it. Let's see where I'm going this time...
