Well, I'm just excited to see there's a street in Tower Hamlets named after the village where I grew up (nominally just within the boundary, and a very dear designation to my upwardly mobile parents, though I usually say Haywards Heath)

If you had picked the Cornish Yarg, it would have given you a rare opportunity to eat stinging nettles (the green outer covering). Developed by a Mr Gray, hence the name (backwards).

Tower Hamlets certainly does have hipster delis. For a start, the one on Columbia Road has recently been joined by a neighbour on Hackney Road. Then there’s the gorgeous iItalian deli on Roman Road, just past the fire station at Bethnal Green. On Sundays there’s a lovely cheese stall at Vicky Park market. I think there’s a vegan one too…

What about every lock on every canal in?

Really like the idea of the parks. Municipal parks are a mixed bunch, but can be real oases and often are the former site of wonderfully weird random history. Just up your street, I should think.

I would have gone for every bus station in London.

How did you get your end of life microwaves to the tip? Did you take them on the bus?

I'd support the cycle hire one just to get you on a bike, although using one only to get between their own docking stations does seem a little circular.

Walking into council tips used to be permitted; maybe still is in some places. But in Kent, it has been strictly forbidden for some years. Non car people are supposed to manage with kerbside collections, or ask friends for help from neighbours, or pay to have stuff taken away.

In Cambridge, which is very big on cycling, they don't allow you to cycle to the tip, sorry, recycling centre.

Shows what a varied place Tower Hamlets is. You started 10 Tickeylists hardly venturing outside the Isle of Dogs.

If you do end up doing every Crescent in London, pause at the one nearest me and take in its neighbouring street, which I think is the only Sweep in London.

Hey, don't diss nettles! An important wildflower for ladybirds and many British butterflies depend on it - Small Tortoiseshell, Red Admiral, Painted Lady, Comma, etc.
What a gorgeous Crescent - of should that be Georgeous?!

I have a feeling Jubilee Crescent makes a brief appearance at the end of a dreadful film called "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" based on an early George Orwell novel. It had Thorn Precinct lanterns in the positions where the spotlights are shown now - a screaming anacronism as these are 1970s fixtures, whereas the story is set in the period when the terrace would have been new.

I have visited many random cycle hire stations to cut journeys before the 30 minute time-out, but now they have just gone to the £1.65 per 30 minutes regardless, I'll only visit the start and end points.
Regarding council tips, I assume you could find enough readers to guest you into their local tip. I can guest you (on foot) into Smugglers Way, which covers Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Wandsworth and Westminster.

At Kimpton Parkway, there is a pedestrian gate where you can walk through to dump rubbish (with ID) or visit the shop (without ID).
All visits have to be booked in advance, but walk-ins are just turn up.
LBS used covid as an excuse to restrict access to the tip by introducing limited bookings.

Ahh, but the Canary Wharf Idea Store not having Wolf Hall on the shelf doesn't necessarily mean that they don't stock it. It could be out on loan ... and referring to the online catalogue shows that to be the case, and that it is due back on October 14th.
I admit that consulting the catalogue rather defeats the tickylist's object of visiting every library. Maybe this one needs tweaking.

A rubbish dump (sorry, recycling centre) with a shop!

Perhaps worth revisiting some of the suggestions made after the jam jar of sainted memory yielded up its last London borough.
Although you have now "done" the whole of London, the boroughs series was completed a decade ago, so you could return to each one to see what has changed.

Cycling: Some areas have quite a density of cycle docks e.g. at least 6 within 0.5 miles of St John's Wood tube station, (although none at the tube station itself). Other areas are frustratingly sparse (Fitzrovia, Hampstead).
The new pricing structure is a not well judged (aligned to a bus fare cost with no daily cap--on it's own or with bus). Season access pass still just about worth it for regular use.

I remember a local neighbourhood being delighted that the council were planning a new civic amenity centre, until they discovered it actually meant a tip, and changed their minds.
Haven’t seen sage derby for years.

I think I was right not to continue with any of those.
