I like reading guides to London, it’s such a huge and varied city you can always find something new about an area you’ve lived or worked in for years.
Today I found a new site thanks to Read/WriteWeb which offers a different apporach to city guides. The IFeel series lets you browse maps of London, New York and Toronto finding things to do and places to go depending on how you few. Choose your mood from energetic, chilled, manly, sophisticated, romantic, naughty, manly and broke. The site is invite only so far but has some good potential to find hidden gems and personal favourites you may have missed around you.

Haagen-Dazs have set up an open air ice ream parlor by Liverpool street tube in Broadgate circle, where the ice rink is during the winter. They’ve laid down some astroturf, put up an airy marque and laid out a few dozen cushions and a few sun loungers.
Considering the decent weather we’re having the place wasn’t packed, but I didn’t get close enough to see how much a shotglass equivalent of ice cream cost, which could have been another decider.
There is often something happening around this part of liverpool street, and even though I expect it to be hugely overpriced it was a welcome sight and encouraged people to take a break from their busy lives, lay down on a large cushion and enjoy some ice cream. And that can’t be a bad thing really can it.
It was still there this morning so head along if you’re in the area and the weather holds up!
