Today I'm three quarters of the way through my random exploration of the capital. At this stage only a northwestern strip and an eastern chunk remain to be visited, plus the outlier of Kingston down in the southwest. But these nine still form a hugely diverse set of boroughs. Will I end up in the densely-packed centre of town - somewhere like Westminster or Camden? Or will I be despatched instead to the attraction-lite outskirts - somewhere sprawling like Barnet or Bexley?
Once I've researched my randomly-chosen borough online I'll then head off and visit some of its most interesting places (assuming it has any). 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 and the rain holds off. 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...
Random borough (25): Time once more for me to take another random trip to one of London's 33 boroughs. As I write I have no idea which one of the nine remaining borough names will be revealed when I unfold the slip of paper I'm about to pick from my legendary "special jamjar". I could pick any one of the other London boroughs - inner or outer, urban or suburban, small or large, fascinating or dull. I just know it won't be Merton, Islington, Enfield, Sutton, Lewisham, Southwark, Kensington & Chelsea, Hackney, Hillingdon, the City, Bromley, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets, Haringey, Hounslow, Brent, Redbridge, Ealing, Harrow, Croydon, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth, Greenwich or Richmond, because they're the twenty-four (dark grey) boroughs I've picked out already. [I've repaired those links, so they should all now work]
