I was feeling homesick. I think anybody who has lived in London winds up seeing many/most of these. I left off so many things worth a glim: climpompidras niddle (as tony hancock called it) on the embankment, the thames barrier, kensington market, Portobello Road Market, Marx's tomb in Highgate, the list probably *is* endless.. Harrods food hall is worth a viz, the polychrome tiles are wonderful. If you want a nostalgia trip for a photo op. the zebra crossing at Abbey Road studios is always good for a laugh. But make sure Boyd has bare feet on the black stripe.. -George
