Londonist's walks with One Eye Grey are always excellent, informative, intriguing and - importantly - a laugh but you can't always cover as much ground as you might like. Tonight then, break new ground with Fright Bikes, One Eye Grey's collaboration with Witcombe Cycles and Southwark Cyclists, presenting a frightful set of stories stretching from London Bridge to darkest Deptford and ending up in a jolly pub. Ghostly polar bears, well hung pirates, the......

Remember the days when you got your London news, culture and stories fix from words printed on actual paper? Well, this is a quick reminder that you have the opportunity to sample the finest in London's independent magazine scene this Saturday between 11am - 5pm at Hays Galleria, London Bridge. As featured in the Book Grocer, London Magtastic is hosted by our friends at One Eye Grey and a whole host of fantastic London......

Festival season embeds itself in our social life this week and makes a mockery of our diary – it’s all illegible scribblings, strike-throughs, and exclamation points. Whilst we attempt to sort ourselves out, let’s see what sense we can make of the week ahead in literary London for you... Monday: Bebop hep-cats (that’s right, hep-cats) converge on the Troubadour tonight to celebrate the 1950s poetry scene (8pm, £6/£5 concessions); biographers Anne Sebba and Andrew......

June’s here, and we’re feeling a bit slack. But although the summer blockbusters have rolled into town to lessen the load on our addled brains, literary London keeps on cranking out the heavyweights. Lightweight summer reading? Not here, not yet. Tuesday: You might have inferred that we love London. We do, we really do. Which places us in the company of many a great poet: Wordsworth, Blake, Lawrence. Poems by these and plenty of......

The fifth edition of our favourite pocket sized publication, One Eye Grey, is here. If you went on the latest Londonist walk you'll be well aware of this as Chris Roberts was your genial guide and probably hawked it merrily in your direction. And more fool you if you didn't take him up on his ridiculously reasonably priced wares. For a mere two hundred and fifty pennies you could be reading stories from 'another......

Doesn't sunshine make everything seem better? Alright, it's been brass monkeys but nothing lifts the winter blues like bright skies, crisp air and early daffodils. It's half term for most kids this week so your commute might even be more pleasant. In which case, perhaps you'll be more inclined to get out after work and try something different that's light on your wallet and heavy on aceness. After all, we really can't afford good......

It's definitely time to think about how you want to spend the 14 February. Whether you're a sap for all things commercially romantic or a stalwart anti Valentine, it's important to know where you're going to be and what's going to be going on. No good staying in and ignoring the event if your flatmate's getting all hearts and flowers with their current kissing partner and no point trying to go out for dinner......

The fourth in our series of spooky, kooky guided walks is almost upon us. Wander Lonely Streets Part IV takes place on Friday, from 7.30, beginning at the north end of Green Park's Queens Walk (pedestrian route on the East side of the park). This is between the Tube exits and the Ritz. Do drop us a line if you'd like to come along (londonist - at - gmail - dotcom). It's free, and......

Announcing the fourth Londonist guided walk. When: Friday 8 February. What: Piccadilly warriors, sapphic Royalty, bonkers fashion, nazi dogs, naval heroes and lovesick gardeners are amongst the cast on this dysfunctional relationship stroll through St James. Who: Chris Roberts, your genial guide from our previous walks is back. Chris is a veteran tour guide, author of Cross-River Traffic, resurrector of the Penny Dreadful with his One Eye Grey, and all-round top bloke. Where: Meet......

Our friends at the South East London Folklore Society (SELFS) will be hailing and celebrating Yule tonight with a good old fashioned game of pin the tail on the Yule Cat. There will also be beer, chips, storytelling, songs and games. If you're a fan of urban legends, One Eye Grey, Jack the Ripper walks, gory London histories, oddities, nooks and crannies, the occult, paganism, Morris dancing, dragons, witchcraft and the like, you need......

Four weeks till Christmas! Argh. Funds are all focused on present buying and getting through the party season but we still want to go out and about because the heating isn't working properly at home. We can't afford to go and see Gandalf drop his trousers in King Lear but, thankfully, there's lots of cheap and interesting stuff about as usual. Monday: Start the week with an event truly in the spirit of London......

It’s time to announce our third Londonist guided walk. When: October 12. Meet at 7pm outside Atlantis Books, Museum Street. What: This walk around Bloomsbury will mention Mr Crowley, screaming queens – of the Egyptian variety – haunted clocks, incompetent executioners and much else as it meanders from St Giles to Holborn. The walk lasts about ninety minutes and focuses on spooky events and odd folklore. Who: As usual, this offbeat tour is led......

The revived Penny Dreadful, known as One Eye Grey, is back for its second edition. This loose collection of shadowy tales draws on London's folklore, presenting a cavalcade of spooky oddness and strange happenstance in one handbag or manbag-friendly dose. It's by our old mate Chris Roberts (who some of you will remember from the guided walks we recently put on). You can pick up a copy for just £2.50 from an impressive number......

Chris Roberts (not pictured) is a man of many talents. He's traced the origins of nursery rhymes, surveyed London's bridges and even written a musical about Margaret Thatcher. And then there's the Evening Standard random headline generator. Most recently of all, he took us on a walk around the Pool of London. His latest project, One Eye Grey (available at not enough good bookshops), is the first penny dreadful for over a hundred years......

In other words, it's the first ever Londonist guided walk. We're putting on a tour of the upper Pool of London (London Bridge and the Tower precincts) on Sat 10 February, from 2pm. There are soooo many reasons you should come: 1. It's free! 2. You'll meet the authors of at least three nerdy books about London. 3. The tour is conducted by Chris Roberts, the chap who brought you such delights as the......
