Weekend from hell

[kenspain]

This weekend I got coned into taking my son to run in a marathon look where it was somewhere I said I would never go.

Oh Ken I feel for you. I've been there 3 times?.......?..?......never again

Well I think it’s a fantastic place, one of the world’s greatest cities.

 

[kenspain]

It was when I was born there many years ago, but after leaving 40 years ago to go back now its a eye opener to how its changed

Yep they have filled in all the ww2 bomb craters.

I like London, for short periods at a time. I really wouldn't want to live there. We've got a weekend booked soon actually

 

[kenspain]

Poor thing I don't know were you going I was in the city when my son was running and then went into south London to where I was born and what an eye opener it was

Two of my sisters still live where I’m from in North London. I’m always ready to leave after a day with them*.I feel hemmed in. Claustrophobic, I suppose.
* They are probably glad to see the back of me too.

I'm only 40 miles south of London and still really love a day out there by train. The area around Tower Bridge and St Katherine Dock is one of my favourites... in fact I did a tour of the Bridge once, including the old 'engine room' and had a ball scaring my friend by boogeying on the glass floor of the walkway between the towers

I don't know were you going

Hotel is somewhere near russel square iirc, going to a Saturday afternoon gig in Camden. Dare say we'll get lunch at Camden lock, and be out and about in the usual touristy bits

Boy wants to go to the transport museum, and science museum.

When I’m in London I play monopoly in my head with the place names. I love a weekend there see a show go for a nice dinner great buzz about the place but wouldn’t want to live there.

Canal boat trip from Camden to Little Venice is interesting.
