One more year will see this quest finished, so there are only a handful of boroughs left to visit. But that's still enough to make today's visit wholly uncertain. Will I be off to densely-packed Hammersmith & Fulham, which is the only vaguely central borough remaining? More likely, am I heading instead for a day in the suburbs? Cuts-tastic Barnet, perhaps. Or finally (finally) out to the far east of town, which my jamjar has been unbelievably reluctant to select over the last six years. It could be a tough job reporting back on attraction-lite outskirts where nothing much happens. But nowhere's that dull, surely, not even Barking and Dagenham.
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. 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 (29): Time yet again 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 five remaining borough names will be revealed when I unfold the slip of paper I'm about to pick from my legendary "special jamjar". 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, Richmond, Kingston, Westminster, Newham or Camden, because they're the twenty-eight (dark grey) boroughs I've picked out already.
