On the last day of 2015, the Daily Constitutional's editor Adam looks back at his walking & blogging London year…
February
It's the Life of Reilly, really. February began with fine dining at The Bleeding Heart in Clerkenwell…
… their private rooms rooms are a thrill within a thrill (pictured above). The restaurant is already off the beaten track, deliciously tucked away and this further level of concealment makes it feel like some magical dining room out of Alice in Wonderland.

Elvis Is In the Building
February continued with a visit to see Elvis's stuff at the O2…
The big stuff – guitars and cars – was great. But it was the intimate details, his army uniform, the relics of his poverty-ridden childhood, that I loved best.
The Elvis exhibition at the O2 now runs to 16th January www.elvisattheo2.com
Strip Show
Also in February our London Walks Podcast featured London Museums. Any excuse for a trip to the Cartoon Museum…
And any excuse to do more research for my Cartoon & Comic Book Tour of London. Don't disturb your father while he's working!

I enjoyed snapping these preparations for The Year of the Goat…
Old Rivals
The old battle lines are drawn in Monmouth Street…
Wise Words
My favorite sign of the year in the basement of Quinto Bookshop on the Charing Cross Road…
All About Tha' Bass…
On a musical note, we've all heard of a "walking" bass… but I'd never seen one catch a bus on the Holloway Road until last February…
Next time… March
