This morning I had breakfast from what I believe is the best breakfast joint in the city of London – Fuzzy’s Grub.

My favourite is a fried egg sandwich, on toasted white bread, buttered, with ketchup, made with two medium-cooked eggs. All the breakfasts are classic British fare, served very quickly and capably by friendly staff. The only downside is that it’s take-away only but most people are taking their brekkie onto the office anyway.

From what I gather, there are a few if them dotted around but the one I frequent is just down the road from Bank Tube at 56-57 Cornhill, EC3V 3PD.

Note: I’m posting from the iPhone now but I’ll stick a map up later.

Whilst on the way to the Video Games Live show at the Royal Festival Hall in London’s Southbank a friend and I happened across Mr. David Bingham and his Magic Rug. David and his friend have been touring around the country (well, Glasto and London at least) with a rug and encouraging people to draw pictures and write messages on it, he called the organisation the “Magic Rug Society”.  The content people add to the rug includes basic text, drawings, symbols or just scribble and participants are encouraged to add layers on top of existing material to add to the ’story’ of the rug.  Aparrently even Frank Skinner has made a contribution along the way, though I couldn’t work out exactly what his yellow splodge was meant to represent.

The pair were very amiable and we spent about 15 minutes or so chatting and taking pictures, whilst we were there a whole load of people stopped by to add their inspiration to the rug, it was such a wonderful thing to see and very characteristic of why I love London.  Here are some photos I took on the night, click through to my photostream for high res versions – all available under creative commons (Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share Alike)…
