Walk: Cold War Russia
Last night, London Literary Walks (LLW) headed off on a walk entitled Cold War Russia . Meeting in The Champion beforehand, right across from the Russian Embassy - and they do food, but don't take bookings for just one person. So I'd have to wing it. Far enough out for Tube - and ironically, apart from a frighteningly huge crowd coming off the Jubilee Line as I approached, this was a much less traumatic journey than yesterday ! I mean, I was travelling at almost exactly the same time.. what the difference is between Tuesday and Wednesday baffles me. Anyway, there were no major crowds - I got on the first train, and even got a seat after a couple of stops! And even the dreaded Central Line behaved - I didn't get a seat, but it was actually running, for once.. Now, you might wonder about the name of the pub. I mean, there's a horse on the sign: But inside, it's all about Queen ! Anyway, a lot of tables were booked- but I spotted one in the corn...
