Queens Gate, London - France 1 : England 0

A delightful day wandering around some of my old haunts in London, especially around South Kensington, Imperial and the Royal Albert Hall, backdrop to part of one of my favourite films, The Ipcress File.

Lunch at the Polish Club in Queens Gate. A fine venue and charming staff.

There are railings and diversion signs outside, as part of some misguided scheme to pedestrianize the road with vile bricks as a surface. They will never learn. Bricks are for walls not for walking on.





In Lille during the week for some culture and cuisine. Somehow the way the locals have managed the traffic access in the old town is exemplary. More so I realise, after seeing the travesty that is Queens Gate.
