Rules: Type the name of a place (town, city, village or whatever). The next player types the name of another place that starts with the last letter of the previous place. i.e London could then be followed by Newcastle.
The first person to say Westward Ho! is the winner as to my knowledge, there isn't anywhere in the world that begins with an exclamation mark, so it's a good idea to avoid anywhere ending with W.
So, here goes ...

Lorient
(Brittany, western end but confusingly means "East" as it was the port for the spice route, and thus as far from Westward Ho! as possible. Also vies for the title of ugliest Breton city ever following war damage and reconstruction. And Chorister, surely it's Mornington Crescent as much as ES?)
