Do the gallery thing, The West End, Covent Garden, Soho. Have a couple of pints. It was a great way to get a sense of perspective. Haven't been able to do it for a couple of years as having bits of me amputated means that walking long distances results in me being a guest of the health service.

But I do miss it.

London on foot is awesome.


Back in the days when everywhere closed on Sundays, my good lady and I used to spend the occasional Sunday just walking around all those places and the parks. Very few people about and parking was a doddle. Even parked in the Mall sometimes. Try that today and you'll lose your car pronto.


Regent’s Park is a good place to park on a Sunday.

When we first moved down here from Glasgow, 30 odd years ago, we used to go to Camden market almost every Sunday. You could quite literally park on Camden high street.

Funnily enough me and my wife were reminiscing a couple of weeks ago, just before our daughter was born we used to take our mums down to London on some Sunday’s. no traffic to mention and as you have said, you could park and have a walk round. Jeese this country has messed up.

Wow. That reminds me of those Pathe news films when you'd see, for example, a chap (a chap, not a bloke) pull up outside Selfridges and park his MG on Oxford Street, before popping inside to buy a nice cravat.
