Barkingside is a district of North East London in the London Borough of Redbridge. Barkingside is chiefly known for the children's charity Barnardo's, which was founded there in 1866, and still has its headquarters there. Some of the oldest buildings in Barkingside include the Barnardo's chapel, the underground station, which was originally an Edwardian railway station, and Holy Trinity Church, which dates from 1840. Barkingside is an ethnically and religiously diverse district notable for an unusually high concentration of London's Jewish population.

2. Hampton Court Palace East Molesey
Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the borough of Richmond upon Thames, 11.7 miles south west and upstream of central London on the River Thames. Building of the palace began in 1515 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a favourite of King Henry VIII. In 1529, as Wolsey fell from favour, the cardinal gave the palace to the King to check his disgrace; Henry VIII later enlarged it. Along with St James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII. In the following century, King William III's massive rebuilding and expansion work, which was intended to rival Versailles, destroyed much of the Tudor palace. Work ceased in 1694, leaving the palace in two distinct contrasting architectural styles, domestic Tudor and Baroque. While the palace's styles are...

6. Blenheim Palace Woodstock
Blenheim & Woodstock was a railway station constructed in the neoclassical style which served the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace in the English county of Oxfordshire. The station, as well as the line, was constructed by the Duke of Marlborough and was privately run until 1897 when it became part of the Great Western Railway. The number of trains serving the station was cut in the late 1930s, and again in 1952 down to only six trains a day. The last train ran on 27 February 1954 adorned with a wreath. The station building was initially converted into a garage and petrol station. Then the forecourt of the site was no longer used as a petrol station, but for used car sales only with a building company using some of the land behind the station. There were proposals for demolishing the b...

7. THORPE PARK Resort Chertsey
Thorpe Park is a theme park located between the towns of Chertsey and Staines-upon-Thames in Surrey. It is operated and owned by Merlin Entertainments. After demolition of the Thorpe Park Estate in the 1930s, the site became a gravel pit. Thorpe Park Resort was built in the 1970s on the gravel pit which was partially flooded, creating a water-based theme for the park. This essentially allows guests to view the park as an island, which is where the park's current island like no other slogan originates from. It was officially opened to the public by Lord Louis Mountbatten in 1979. It has since grown into one of the major theme parks in the UK and now also features a hotel. Major attractions include a large water ride Tidal Wave, a number of rollercoasters including Colossus, Nemesis Inferno,...

Balloon Flight from Chipping Ongar

This video records my first balloon flight, from Chipping Ongar (about 16 miles from where I live in Barkingside), early Monday morning on the 2nd April 2012. It was an amazing experience, well worth the money (a special offer at £80), and the wait (3 previous bookings between August and November last year, were cancelled due to unsuitable weather).

It also served me as a practical science lesson in the material and buoyant nature of the atmosphere. Although I know, from learning about it, that it does, the idea that air has weight has always seemed counter-intuitive to me and I'm filled with admiration for those early scientists who realised that it does have weight.

The balloon lifted us into the air, because the air inside of it was reduced in weight by more than what us 12 passengers and the basket (which, together with the burners and 4 bottles of propane gas, was quite heavy itself) weighed. This reduction in weight was brought about by heating it up, so that it expanded, forcing some of it (more than the combined weight of people and basket) out of the bottom of the balloon. Thus, being overall less dense than the surrounding air, we rose through it, buoyant in the fluid of Earth's atmosphere . . . Amazing!
