I have just updated the Top Ten List page at the top of the home page. These are the 10 most popular articles on this site to date. I have also listed my “Ignored 5″ - five articles I think readers should take a look at for something different. If you have a favourite that you think should be here, let me know.

Great Top Ten list! It makes me miss London even more than I already do. I moved back to Virginia but I’m already planning a return visit to the UK next summer. I’ll be getting ideas of what to do and see when I get back…THANKS!
London’s not that far from Virginia… you could visit often
as a Londoner I learn more than I knew each time! especially like the posts on the hidden gems that are right before our eyes and yet we miss seeing e.g cockpit steps
Hi Laura, thanks for your comment. I’m glad you still get to find new things. All the best, Ian
I think I’ll copy and paste this list straight into my London to-do list!
Thanks for the comment Anna… there should be something here for everyone to like. All the best, ian
Now, that’s a great idea!
Great top ten, I never knew Lindberg landed at Croydon, thats cool.
