	Free London Now !!! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Well actually, not quite now, but on the weekend of 17th-18th September, when diverse properties in boroughs across London will yet again be part of the Open House experience.


Many properties not normally open to the public will be showing off their best features, including the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, B.B.C. Bush House, Lambeth Palace and so on.

Where I live there's a couple of Norman churches, one with recently discovered 750 year old wall paintings, the United Kingdom's oldest and largest tidal mill, and modern buildings from Stratford to Docklands.

If there's any Poly posters not from the U.K. in London that weekend, it's a great opportunity to see buildings or parts of buildings you wouldn't normally see.

Clerkenwell Green is a nice place for the pubs too. Just across the way from Leather Lane (which my office overlooks).

Working in Clerkenwell

And the nearby Betsey Trotwood on the Farringdon Road has bands playing in the cellar. My band plays there regularly.

Among what's on offer where I am:

quote: Newham Let us introduce you to the Royal Docks, the easternmost sector of the former port area which started to be redeveloped in a major way from the 1980s to include London's new fifth airport City Airport. The Albert, Victoria and George V docks were the largest enclosed docks in the world. We start with the amazing contrasts between the impressive new Excel conference and exhibition centre and the adjacent solid 19th century wharehouses which are now being transformed and refurbished. For diverse new uses. A new pedestrian footbridge takes across the dock to the new village and then we end in the Thames Barrier Park with the chance to enjoy the natural park, relax in the café and marvel at the 1980's modern wonder the Thames Barrier which now protects central London from flooding. Meet Royal Victoria DLR station.

Cort Haus clearly doesn't deserve any congratulations. He used a crude, and - dare I say - ugly way to win. No style, no class. It was quick and dirty. Dare I say it, Cort Haus played like an American.

Nope, nor is there any such station as Camden. Camden Town, perhaps. You forfeit the game

Thanks, Hueij. It was a little sneaky to hit zone two by getting off at Hendon, hitching a lift up the M1 and taking a mainline from Watford into Euston, but with the engineering works at Belsize Park what choice did I have?

Still, beats the Docklands Light Railway this time of night. Newham, Greenwich - what chance did they have?

OK, I'll be less aggressive this round and take a double Allerdici handicap (Lancashire Rules, if that's ok) on the Picadilly Line and get flung out to Park Royal. With the Hanger-Lane vortex that should hold me back for a turn or two.

I'm fairly surprised by Cort's move. Maybe he lowered his effectivity out of guilt?

In any case, the game is clearly much more interesting now. I'll entertain you by raising a Harrow-on-the-hill. I know you'll bypass my manoeuvre, but I'm curious to see how you'll do it

PH, I tried to get from my home in Chalk Farm to MC on foot (sneaky I know, I already apologised) but no trains were running south of Belsize Park so I had to go North.

Besides, as a London resident within Zone 4, the Featherstone-Waugh ruling of 1963 means I can play at any point I have 2 or more Dartford lines covered...

Okay, I'm calling for a referee now. Cort Haus, as the game starter, gave the turn to me so, Featherstone-Waugh notwithstanding I'd say we are still at Chesham.

I have this brilliant strategy and I won't be arsed if some Zone 4 resident is screwing it up

Some people take this game seriously you know?

OK, I can't get through the Acton Funnel under these conditions, and stuck in Hangar Lane's gravity field for this turn for my Allerdici bonus I'll settle for Ealing Common.
