Explorer Tom Edinburgh, West Bowling Green Street, Duty Free Warehouse started from a bet two lads made in the pub that nothing would ever be duty-free here. It’s just a warehouse now, but with a name that promises tax breaks you’ll never get. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Explorer Tom South Fort Street has a 19th-century house that’s bitter about not being famous. It sits there looking dignified while everyone else gets the glory, probably muttering about better days and fancier wallpaper. Its rivalry with its neighbors is pure passive-aggressive stone work. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Explorer Tom Edinburgh, Newhaven Road, Place of Worship is currently in a bitter feud with the rain, which keeps trying to get in and cause trouble. It stands there looking offended every time a cloud passes overhead, like a diva who hasn’t had her makeup touched up. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
Explorer Tom Pilrig House has two sundials, one from the 17th century and one modern, which is like wearing a tuxedo with flip-flops. The rabbits think it's a great place to hide from the sun. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
