london

It’s been a crazy week in England this past week with all the riots taking place and it is now over a week since the original shooting which sparked of the first set, but since then it has clearly just been riots for the sake of trouble and the chance to loot many of the places these people rely on for their daily lives!

Earlier today cam across a new blog about London and things happening there, http://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/. What drew me to the site was this particular blog post focusing on the visit to the Brompton Road tube station which is disused. Some excellent photos and some good history about the underground there.

When you work in London you often forget what is around you and what wonderful historic architecture exists. The main aim is normally to get from A to B as quickly as possible and then home or back to the hotel. In the winter that’s all you want to do anyway.

The other night I was in London for a couple of days and staying overnight as normal and Natasha also spent the day in London with friends. They were staying overnight and she was staying with them. My hotel very close to Warren street tube station and they were staying over at Farringdon.

The number of times I have been to London and very rarely look around, just go to work head home or stay over for a night. Even when staying over end up working late and then going straight back to the hotel.

Staying in London tonight and was working late. From the 13th floor is fantastic looking out across London at night on a clear warm night, do like it!

Left it late to book a room and ended up over at Euston station. Got here about 9pm and then headed over the road for something to eat. Went for a walk after dinner down Euston road and it is rare that you walk slow enough to notice the surroundings. So much history in such a short distance, pity never get enough time to really investigate, one day maybe.
