First of a big thanks to everyone who is tuning in to This Week in London. I'm having a lot of fun doing this and I hope you're enjoying it - please do contact me at thisweekinlondon@gmail.com if you have any stories of Life or Travel in London.

This time we're exploring Borough Market, the foodies heaven and associated pubs, restaurants and foody shops. Well worth a visit if you have time.

As we move into the Christmas Holiday itself I give a little history on the Christmas Tree in Traflagar Sqaure, where it came from and why. Also be on the look out for the New Year Fireworks display after the midnight bongs from the main bell in St. Stephens Tower at the Houses of Parliament aka Big Ben. FWIW - Big Ben ONLY refers to the bell, not the clock, not the tower....

I also talk about the Flickr stream I have on Flat Stan (just Google Flat Stan if you have no idea what this means) and his travels in London. You can find the stream here

Music this week sourced at the Podshow Music Network and provided courtesy of the Bands:

Satelite Dub with London has more Lights

and

The Bridge Gang with "London Sky Tonigh" demo0

Special thanks to Ed at Ed's Mixed Bag for playing the promo - cheers Ed. If you haven't already please do check out Ed's show at www.edsmixedbag.com

So, a Happy Christmas to everyone out there and Happy New Year too!

I am working on a new podcast and I thought I'd try it out on my long suffering Flashing12 audience. The new show is called This Week In London and is all about my favourite city, my home city, London...



I will be focussing on the place, the people, the events, the history and the odd stuff which make my favourite city what it is today.



Please do let me know what you think of this, I want to engage better (more) with my audience and try to give more back to the folks who have supported my Podcasting efforts, which, frankly, haven't been terribly frequent!



Send me an email to thisweekinlondon ----at----- gmail ----dot---- com..... and I will take your advice / ideas / offers of help and start a continuous improvement process with this show.



Music in this show is provided by:





Null Device with a track called "Walk In London - Acoustic Mix" - the have their own home page too



and



SingLadies with a track called "London Love" - they have a MySpace Account as well which is worth checking out.
