Autumn in London


After 3 years without a trip to London, I was suddenly faced with two trips in the space of a fortnight.
In geocaching terms, 16 caches were found. Remarkably, this makes London the same dark blue colour as Powys and Gwynedd on my map of geocaching counties!
The Regents Park / Marylebone area proved to be a particularly good geocaching stronghold - along with 3 quick caches (2 virtuals) in the St Paul's area, including a trip up to the top of the Cathedral
Otherwise, my usual personal London rituals were observed. Covent Garden Market, Westminster, the London Underground and an interesting ride on the Docklands Light Railway.
Another significant lanmark was St. Pancras station, which used to be my point of arrival in London as a child, travelling from Leicester. It is now a sparkling terminus with a nice array of my favourite shops, and is likely to make it into my regular London haunts in future.
