Not forgetting Mr Kipling's exceedingly good Manor House cake.

Very funny, but a flaming beacon for all the dim PR bunnies to unleash a new wave of requests for you to promote their restaurant/bar/laundrette disco.

This is most interesting. Perhaps you could also write about the drinks and brewing scene around London, such as the now long lost cordial makers of Limehouse?

Perhaps you could also cover:
Wat for d-inner
Kew-cumber Gardens
Stock well
and of course Brockley (London Overground)

Pity your photo illustration for Pie and Mash seems to show regular gravy and not the green coloured liquor.
The old Fulham Broadway tube station is now used as a market and there is a restaurant in there.

It's not a well-known fact, but Canning Town is so named because it used to be the site of London's first Heinz factory. The German ...
As any fule kno HZHeinz is American. I ain't stoopid.
I think you need to do an similar article on architecture. Amongst items I would like to see covered are:
Swiss Cottage: This iconic dwelling standing out like a sore thumb surrounded by drab 1930's houses never gets a mention. Its time you put this right.
Wanstead Flats: Well-known in East London yet we never hear from the occupants what it is actually like to live in them.
Cubitt Town: This area named after the dramatic cubist style of architecture surely would deserve a whole blog to itself which needs loads of photos to do the area justice.

Great writing DG. As a result 21 September is now in my diary to visit Shepherds Bush Market. Working in Hammersmith it would be rude not to.

Hyde Park Corner was another former station which spent some time as a culinary hotspot.

Is the "flirting" ad banner at the top of your homepage intentional?

I see no flirting ad banner
(not in Firefox, not in IE)

For what it's worth, there used to be a bar right on the platform at two stations on the Circle Line - Liverpool Street and Sloane Square. You could dash across four yards of platform for a quick snifter and then dash back onto a train to continue round the Circle to the other bar and do the same. If you really wanted to. Both clockwise. Anti-clockwise was anti-drinking. How sinister.
btw I have no flirting on my Chrome page.

Brilliant, DG. I've been chortling for several minutes now and have no intention of stopping.

London's second favourite food is pierogi? Never seen or heard of them in my life let alone tasted one!
Pie and mash on the other hand rocks. But not the jellied eels you can usually get on the side. They just do weird things to my stomach

Serious business site Bloomberg appears to be competing with you in the feeding station steaks (sorry) with an appalling article about the retail scene at St Pancras full of sausage puns and lazy national stereotypes.
I won't link to it but stick this into google: "Bloomberg St Pancras Proffers Bratwurst to Lure Germans Through Tunnel"

Great blog.
Such as shame about Marlborough Road station. On a less exotic note, the disused Kentish Town South station is now home to a branch of Cash Convertors!
