2021 – the StuffAboutLondon year in review

Thanks very much for following the blog this year, and for coming on the virtual tours (and the handful of real life walks) that have been organised. There have been over 8,000 visitors to stuffaboutlondon.co.uk with over 11,000 views – a record year on both counts. It is very much appreciated.

There’ll be more posts in the new year (or perhaps sooner if I get too Scrooge like over Christmas) and for those of you who like lists, here are a couple of lists you might like. The first is of the top (most read) posts on the blog this year and the second the top five new posts. Cue ‘Pick of the Pops’ theme music:
