A beautiful morning in East London. Anna and I went to a couple of car-boot sales in Dalston and then in Shoreditch, where we found a bunch of trinkets and vintage clothes. The atmosphere in Shoreditch is suspended in time, thankfully; markets are still old school and music and food smells fill up the air.
London is very hot these days, we call it an “Indian summer” when the heat finally reaches the country in September. It’s a classic, it happens every year.

hi, could you make one with ollie bearman with london boy by taylor swift, please? she's so whipped by her british boyfriend especially his smile and his thick british accent that always drive her crazy and so is he. thank you!
london boy - oliver bearman
Tumblr media
genre: fluff
word count: 927
inspired by london boy by taylor swift
warning: english is not my first language
thank you soo much for the request! to be honest i have been thinking about writing london boy for ollie too! also, i'm not from england so all of the information i got for this fict is from google.
feel free to give me any feedback and hope you enjoy! my requests are open 🫶
------------------
I love my hometown as much as Motown, I love SoCal
And you know I love Springsteens, faded blue jeans, Tennesse whiskey
But something happened, I heard him laughing
I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent
You met Ollie for the first time when you just transferred to the Imperial College London. You remember it was on a sunny Thursday, and you and your new friends were doing your assignment for a class together. It was going smoothly for you until you heard a laugh that sounds like music to your ear. That’s when you saw him, a tall guy with a sweet smile and dimples, getting shushed by his friend that’s sitting next to him. 
“Is he from our uni?” you asked your friends, pretending to be annoyed when in reality you really want to know if you will have a chance on seeing him again in the near future.
“Oliver? The tall guy with curly hair? No, he is a racing driver in Formula 2. But he is always here when it’s off-season, a lot of his friends went here. I could introduce you to him if you want?”
You know I love a London boy
I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling I fancy you
“Stop calling me a London boy! I’m not even from London. I’m from Chelmsford!” Ollie said while laughing, and oh, how much you love that laugh. The laugh that caught your attention that first time, a sound that could instantly bring a smile to your face.
You are strolling around the infamous Camden Market with the boy you have been dating for 3 months now. It hasn’t been long since you first met, but God knows how smitten you are with him. Every time you are together with him, it’s like you became a child that has a crush all over again. His smile, his laugh, his thick British accent, his giggle, everything about him is perfect to you.
“I don’t care! You will always be my London boy, okay.” You said with a smile that Ollie loves so much. A smile that he wants to see for the rest of his life if it’s possible.
“Is that supposed to be a Taylor Swift reference?”
Show me a gray sky, a rainy cab ride
Babe, don’t threaten me with a good time
They say home is where the heart is
But God, I love the English
It was raining heavily, which means your plan to go on a picnic with Ollie has to be canceled unwillingly. It’s been 7 months now since you first date him, and it has been the best seven months for both of you. Sure, there are arguments here and there, it’s normal for a couple to argue, but you love him so much and you knew he loves you too. “You know we don’t have to cancel our plan right?” he said after you expressed your disappointment. 
“It’s raining like crazy Ollie,” you said pointing the obvious while unpacking the picnic basket you two had prepared.
“We can still go on a walk, play in the rain for a bit, I swear it will be fun!” his reply got muffled as he hugged you from behind, burying his face in your hair, how are you supposed to decline his invitation?
And that’s how, three days later, you found yourself lying in his bed together with him, the two of you feel like dying from the cold you two caught because of the rain.
You know I love a London boy
I enjoy nights in Brixton, Shoreditch in the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling I fancy you
Among all the things you’ve done together with Ollie, your favorite one might be walking around Brixton at night on a weekend. Strolling around Brockwell Park, going to a random concert held in O2 Academy, and visiting the infamous Westminster Abbey. You just love your night adventure with the boy who has been in your life for the past year.
And he loves it too, just as much. He loves seeing you enjoying the park at night, he loves hearing you singing along to a song performed at the concert, and he loves seeing your eyes light up when you were in awe because of the Church. Ollie just loves everything that has to do with you, he loves everything about you. And he will do anything just to see you smile. 
So please show me Hackney
Doesn’t have to be Louis V up on Bond Street
Just wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
You love traveling London with your own London boy. Going to Hackney, visiting the British Museum, walking around Victoria Park, anything really, as long as you are together with him.
Ollie also loves traveling with you too, well, he just loves you, really. He may be not as open as you at expressing his love, but everyone clearly knows just how much he is in love with you. How he would drop everything just to be with you if you asked him. How he would literally fly from Italy, ditching his training at the Ferrari Driver Academy, just to be with you if you called him.
Seriously, everyone could clearly tell that both of you are just two people being insanely in love with each other. And everyone also knew that nothing can change that.

#3: London Boy - Taylor Swift (we all knew it had to happen at some point.)
"I suppose I'll have to play tour guide next time we're in London," Henry says at Franklin Barbecue, ankles hooked together under the table. "You'd love Camden Market, I think."
"Yeah?" Alex smirks. "What about Highgate?"
Henry hums, a question in his eyes he doesn't voice. "Of course, if you'd like."
"Brixton? Shoreditch?"
"Well, yes, they're both—" He stops short, expression sharpening in understanding. "For Christ's sake, Alex. There's more to London than Taylor Swift lyrics."
"Please show me Hackney," Alex says earnestly. "It doesn't have to be Louis V up on Bond Street—"
Henry throws a napkin at him.
[send me a number 1-100 and I'll write a drabble based off whatever song that corresponds to in my spotify wrapped apple music replay]

Everyday Life in Tudor London: Life in the City of Thomas Cromwell, William Shakespeare & Anne Boleyn by Stephen Porter (published Aug. 15, 2024)
Tudor London was a vibrant capital city, the very hub of English cultural and political life. The thriving metropolis had a strong royal presence, at the long established Tower of London and Westminster, and later at the palaces of Whitehall, Bridewell and St James’s, built by Henry VIII to host his glittering court. Anne Boleyn was assigned a house in the Strand, with gardens running down to the river, while Elizabeth I stayed occasionally at Somerset House. The great and the good gravitated to the city too: Erasmus lodged with Sir Thomas More and his family in Bucklesbury, off Cheapside; Sir Walter Raleigh wrote poetry in his study in Durham House, overlooking the Thames and William Shakespeare lodged in Silver Street. Like today, streets and areas grew up with their own distinct personality: Bankside and Shoreditch were the first theatre and entertainment districts where the Globe Theatre was built to sit alongside the bear-baiting rings. Londoners themselves, and the many immigrants who flocked from the continent, created a lively, raucous society in the streets, markets and the hundreds of inns and ale-houses. Everyday Life in Tudor London vividly recreates this colourful city.
Stephen Porter is an acknowledged expert on London’s history. He was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and of the Royal Historical Society. Sadly, he passed away in 2021.

Hi, hello, hola! Thank you for the tag today, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe! Instead of six sentences, today I bring you "six somethings" - six places I'm excited to eat while I'm in London (March 24-April 7)!
If anyone has any recommendations for favourite places to eat in London, PLEASE let me know! 🍽️😋
I'll tag up here because this post is a long boi. Hello hello hello to a buncha folks! @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @cutestkilla @thewholelemon @dohrnaira @ebbpettier @facewithoutheart @hushed-chorus @ionlydrinkhotwater @imagineacoolusername @larkral @raenestee @onepintobean @theimpossibledemon @whogaveyoupermission @tectonicduck
6.) Pret (Heathrow)
I know Shepard loses his tiny mind over the sandwiches from Pret, but. I dream of their Chocolate Moose. I have an absurd amount of food allergies, so finding a Chen-friendly, ready made chocolate mousse is a dream come true. So excited to cram it into my face after I clear Customs.
From My Good Egg, Good morning, good night, good morning:
“All right.” Simon goes back to fiddling with Bunce’s phone, and then he says to Bunce, hopeful, “Any chance you brought the rest of my baguette from Pret?”
Bunce says, slowly and carefully, “Simon. I do not know the whereabouts of your airport sandwich. I was rather busy figuring out where you had disappeared to.” 
5.) Borough Market
I have very fond memories of Borough Market from the first/last time I visited London back in 2018. I remember sticking my head in a jar full of dried truffles and just inhaling all that amazing, savoury, umami truffly goodness. (Like, you know, the way that normal humans do.)
From What's Left by @cutestkilla:
I’ve been hanging around Borough Market quite a bit, and I’ve had everything from cheese and croissants to chorizo and balsamic vinegar (in small sample portions only). I think, though, that my favourite thing so far was a fresh buttered wild garlic scone that I bought with some of my stolen money after trying a sample.
4.) MotherMash (Covent Garden)
I also had a good time with a pal at MotherMash years ago - I think instead of pie, I had bangers and mash with gravy, and a tiny, perfect apple pie. My spouse has never been here, but he does frequently say, "I would like to eat a whole pie," and now he will be able to eat TWO pies - one for his main, and one for dessert.
From A cake with your name on it:
Baz was still fuming about the tasting when we met up at his flat for dinner. We had takeaway from MotherMash, and Baz kept stabbing his steak and Stoutheart pie instead of eating it. 
“I’ve never met such an idiot,” he said. “A bumbler. A fool. An absolute nightmare.” 
“Okay,” I said. “We still have that list from my mother with three other bakeries.” 
Baz whipped his head around to stare at me. 
“No,” he said, loudly. Too loudly. He was oddly flushed. “I don’t care if I have to murder and then resurrect him - Simon Snow is making our wedding cake.” 
3.) Brick Lane Beigel Bake (Shoreditch)
I asked my spouse, EarlobeGreyTea, what he wanted to do or eat or see while we're in London and all he would say, over and over again, was "Bagel." He is a remarkably easygoing travel companion.
From an earlier draft of My Good Egg, which ended up getting cut/changed:
They get to Brick Lane before Baz can embarrass himself any further, and he waits outside of a bagel shop until Simon comes out with a salt beef bagel crammed into his mouth, and a very full paper bag. “This one’s for you,” he says, holding out a salmon and cream cheese bagel to Baz. 
Baz takes it, but doesn’t bite into it right away. “Thank you,” he says, slowly, thinking that maybe offering food is one of Simon’s love languages as well, along with killing things. The rats seem to be a lucky intersection. 
2.) E Pellici's (Bethnal Green)
I think my favourite full English breakfast that I ever had was at Pellici's, which is tiny and and owned by an Italian family. The owner spent most of the time I was there embarrassing one of his teenage employees and a girl who was interviewing him for a school project. The owner high fived me when I bought a t-shirt and he went slack-jawed at my powerful, resounding high five. It was great.
From an unpublished bit of My Good Egg:
In the car, Baz passes both slices of fruitcake to Simon, and Simon practically dances in his seat. 
“Are you sure?” Simon asks, “like, really, really sure? Cause I’m telling you, this is really fucking amazing fruitcake, and you can’t buy it most of the time unless you order it special - they don’t even have it on the menu anymore.” “They’re yours, Simon,” Baz says. Honestly, Simon Snow is impossible. He was ready to kill a man for Baz, or not kill a man for him, and now he’s beaming at Baz because of some fruitcake. He needs to pin Simon to a mattress and keep him there — with handcuffs, with a collar, with a ring.
1.) Dishoom (King's Cross)
Dishoom is like... truly magical. That house black daal is no joke. I lack words to describe how amazing the food is - just check out their site (but honestly, it will make you hungry). Everything I've ever had there was fucking delicious and the place and the atmosphere is so gorgeous, just lush and colourful and immersive.
I shared another snippet before about Dishoom from My Good Egg, but here's Simon on the phone with Agatha right after he's ordered takeaway:
“Hey Ags. How’re you – no, I’m not bleeding or throwing up or on fire. I – yeah, I know you said not to call you when you’re at work unless I was bleeding or throwing up or on fire, but this is an – look, it’s not for me this time, all right? Or Penny. It’s for a friend – okay, rude, I have friends other than you and Penny!” Pause. “Yes, Agatha, we’re friends, even if you – yeah, I know you said you would never do another house visit, but you said that the last time, too!” 
Baz leans back so he can catch Bunce’s eyes, and mouths, What the fuck?  
Bunce just rolls her eyes and shrugs, like, He’s Simon, what can you do about it?  
“Well,” Simon says, triumphant, “we already ordered the daal for you, so there!” Pause. “Yeah, love you too. Bye.”  
RIPs & Honourable Mentions
Cinnamon Soho (also mentioned in "A cake with your name on it") - They closed down during the pandemic. But they had a delicious Indian afternoon tea 🥲
Cereal Killer Cafe - This place was rec'd to me by one of my British co-workers (his seven kids were mad for it), but sadly, they closed their storefront during the pandemic and went online. (In my headcanon, this was where Winifred from My Good Egg wanted to go for her(?) first(?) birthday)
Fortnum & Mason - I WILL be going here to buy tea and biscuits (and to replace one of my favourite tote bags, LOL), but not for high tea or afternoon tea. (We have a few other places lined up for that, including The Swan at the Globe and Tea House Theatre). Sorry, Daphne!
Nando's - I suggested to my spouse that we should get cheeky Nando's and have top bants and he gave me a dead-eyed look as if his soul left his body
Again, if you have any recommendations of favourite places to eat in London, please let me know!
I mean, I suppose I'll be doing other things besides eating, like hanging out with my beautiful friends, going to stationery shops, visiting the flower market, seeing shows and things... but really, food is the main draw. 😂😂😂
Happy Sunday!

??? Wait what’s wrong with London boy? I love that song!
In The people v. London Boy, the International Criminal Court at the Hague found Taylor Alison Swift guilty of:
romanticising English men dragging you to the pub to watch rugby with their terrible friends, thereby doing irreparable harm to the long-suffering women on London’s heterosexual dating market
implying that walking around Camden Market in the afternoons is in any way a pleasant and/or relaxing activity rather than an extreme sport dodging tourists and goth teens (no offence to goth teens it’s just a lot of your clothes are really spiky)
endorsing Brixton nightlife (a night out mired in the fraught politics of South London’s gentrification dancing alongside the world’s rudest horse girls? I think not!)
inadvertently dragging Joe Alwyn for being a lil posh boy (‘took me back to Highgate’ — we get it Taylor! He’s asset rich!)
suggesting Shoreditch these days is anything other than a playpen for off-duty bankers and truly terrible DJs
inflicting upon the world the immortal line ‘but god I love the English’, thereby undoing decades of reckoning with the many sins of the British empire
Ms Swift was, however, cleared of the charge of promoting a toxic drinking culture, as the judge found that ‘drinking in the afternoon’ was, in fact, ‘very fun actually’
(also if you see me on a night out in Brixton throwing it back to this song no you didn’t 👀)

Diversifying a portfolio with art offers a tangible asset that can withstand market fluctuations, making it a unique and potentially profitable investment.
Conclusion
Whether you are a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, London’s vibrant art market offers an abundance of opportunities to purchase beautiful paintings.

Shoreditch
 Shoreditch was incorporated into the much larger London Borough of Hackney in 1965. Though now considered very much part of Central London, Shoreditch was originally a suburb of the City of London.
Think of untold amounts of street art, dozens upon dozens of street food options, countless markets, vintage shopping, speakeasy bars, and trendy Instagrammable restaurants. All come together to make Shoreditch a great place to explore

if youre going to london check out the barbican, the conservatory is beautiful! also portobello is great for shopping vintage if youre into that. my favourite museum is the wellcome collection, they have loads of cool oddities it's wild. hackney and shoreditch are fun too but not too touristy. if i were you i'd avoid camden for anything other than a night out, it's pretty much a tourist trap and a most of the market is tat and overpriced.
wowwww the barbican conservatory looks beautiful!! thank you for the suggestions, i plan to be mostly doing stuff on my own during the day so i'm down for anything really :') and noted lol i guess the camden town where jarvis cocker got his festival tickets from some fucked-up bloke is a thing of the past...
