Other good stuff:

Have a look for London's lost grottos

Look at Brixton, all arboreally beautiful

Keep 'em peeled for Pavement 'hobo code'

Comment of the week:

Having read the latest London Dossier post, reader Alison tells us:

I read this and thought "hmm; I'm sure Tubby Isaacs still has a stall on Walthamstow market — I buy fish there sometimes". And indeed, http://www.tubbyisaacs.co.uk tells me that they have two stalls now; one at Walthamstow and one on Portobello Road. Maybe you should do a story on them, given that they've been selling eels for 90 years?

Maybe we should. Thanks Alison!
