I know of no city that when travelling from the south ie Pimlico to Hamstead , that one must travel through London, ie Marble Arch.. That's what I did everyday when I had to drive my sister to work everyday in the late 90's.
I know many people are avoiding London during the Olympics cos they think of high prices etc. Hotels which have hogged rooms or charged high prices may have to retract their Olympic windfall.
Let's see what happens after the games...
Ah, that would be because no city other than London has places named Pimlico and Ham
Pstead. That could be the reason. What other route would you have preferred, just as a point of interest?
So, all in all,
Guy Betsy, may we assume that you are just a tad hacked off with Britain in general, and London in particular, today?
