I’d managed to avoid King’s Road – when I used to drive to work I’d turn right into Edith Grove and onto the Embankment.<br /><br />Anyway – blog in action - fired by your post I strolled over this lunchtime (took me 25 minutes). I made out the Chelsea Drugstore, very tempted to pop in for a burger but I had to dash back really. I’ll revisit but on a Saturday I think. And when the weather’s better.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-16308992066483856082010-02-18T10:20:41.533+00:002010-02-18T10:20:41.533+00:00I split my time between Holborn and Fenchurch St. ...I split my time between Holborn and Fenchurch St. The Minories is just around the corner, but then there's the Jack the Ripper territory, Spitalfields and Brick Lane a short hoof away.<br /><br />Have you done much around King's Road? I made a cut-out-and-keep guide to the area a couple of years back..worth checking if you're ever over that way.<br /><br />http://channelmondo.blogspot.com/2009/03/magical-history-tour-of-kings-roads.htmlMondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-82164026864635670432010-02-17T23:50:08.679+00:002010-02-17T23:50:08.679+00:00I really never have been down into the basement, n...I really never have been down into the basement, not through any moral high horsiness - just the sheer inevitability that if I did I'd be sure on my return upstairs to bump into a cousin or one of my wife's friends or my boss or some similarly awkward character.<br /><br />I used to go on some epic lunchtime wanders - the furthest east I got was around Minories, I turned a corner somewhere and saw Hawksmoor's Christ Church - quite freaked me at the time, very eerie. I'm currently exploring Pimlico but it just seems a bit of a stuccoed wasteland.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-41266586881997622962010-02-17T23:00:21.608+00:002010-02-17T23:00:21.608+00:00I've worked in Holborn since last summer.

Covent Garden, Denmark St, British Museum, Gosh Comics are all a 15 minute walk away.<br /><br />Soho books - yes, an eye-opener down belowMondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.com
