I hope no one minds me starting my own thread for my London photo's! I just didn't want to clog up other threads with my photo's as there are rather a lot! I'll start with Konk StudiosHere's me outside the studio Here's Lola ouside the studio! We just had to park her there seeing as thats where Ray had her registered to when he bought her! I'm sure she's been there many times before And here's a Neon Sign! ;D The intercom And here's my friend Pete who took these great pics (I took this one) Sadly as you can see from the photo's the For Sale sign is still up There were a fair few comings and goings as we loitered around outside the studios. Everytime someone came in or out we were trying to peer inside! I was so tempted to ring the buzzer but knew they would'nt let me in!

We also went to the Lane Cafe - AKA The Working Man's Cafe!The guy who served us was really friendly and happy to chat to us He told us that Ray sometimes pops in for a cuppa and a lot of fans come in regulary to recreate the album shots Apparently some Canadian fans had already been and left before we got there Here's the outside of the cafe Here's a cool arty shot that Pete put together! Here's me trying to recreate an album shot 'I'm the kid with the greasy spoon, firmly held in my hand!' ;D

Here is a shot of me trying to recreate the album cover of Working Man's Cafe. The shop window is located between Konk and the Lane Cafe. Unfortunately its harder to recreate it now as the developers have moved in and changed it I'm not looking too great in this photo I was tired after the Ray show and didn't have a scap of makeup on!

Great pics Sleepwalker! I love getting to see all these landmarks of Kinkdom. I look forward to more pics as well as your concert review (especially in light of how well-written your Donovan review was). I hope you are feeling better today!

SUPER photos SW. I'm so terrifically happy that you made it to KonK and all the other KinKy haunts! Can't wait to see the rest of them! ;D The Lane Cafe makes a great Omelette and chips. The owner is such a nice fellow. I hope you enjoyed your greasy spoon eats!

Thankyou everyone for your feedback and kind words Uncleson - you're very welcome! I;m glad you liked the photos! John - I'm glad you thought it appropriate to make my own thread! Now, going back to Konk would'nt really be a punishment would it! Lola eats to much petrol to be able to go back for a while though! And just to confirm - I'm wearing a big pink flower in my hair on the first pic! Tim - Thankyou for your kind and encoraging words about my last review I'll write my Ray one as soon as I can! And yes, I'm feeling quite a bit better! Smiley - I'm glad you liked my pics! I only had coffee at the cafe but made a point of telling the staff how good their coffee was! Perhaps I should've had Afternoon Tea? ;D I take it you've been before? I'd love to see your photos!

Thanks Tim! I just read your comments and kind words- Pete will appreciate those, as did I I had to laugh at the descriptions Pete added under the videos, he knew it would make me laugh ....although he does think I have am slightly obssessed with the Kinks, and Ray in particular! ;D
