A rather cruder construction, architecturally speaking, to be found among the greensward in north-west London: Stonebridge Park.

I say, Decampagne, that was a bit impressive. You leave me very little option but a double reverse flip to Charing Cross

That was rather well played. Congratulation.
My favorite reply to the Kensington Gambit is to make an end-run around the District line, but perhaps this time I'll shake things up and start out west: Shepherd's Bush Market

But isn't that so low-brow?

Sorry about the TCR move earlier on - you know what a sucker I am for retail therapy.
To make amends, may I suggest Leytonstone as the shops round there look very boring.

So why don't you nip down the Central Line to Stratford for the new Westfield Centre?
(Or stay on the train and go to the other one at Shepherd's Bush, which I prefer).

We might think of going to Peru, however we will have to be content a quick trip on the Southbury Loop to Turkey Street. Your Travelcard will still be valid.

Ah, but you'll need to get your Passport renewed first.
Nearest stop for the Passport Office is St. James's Park, I believe. [ 15. May 2012, 21:09: Message edited by: Baptist Trainfan ]

Stratford should be in about the right direction.

Don't bother, it's HORRIBLE.

Thanks very much, Weeder - as Sir K. isn't actually playing I think honour, dignity and Rule 6* have been preserved.
As we seem to be heading west:
Bristol Temple Meads
* There is NO Rule 6, but if there were, it would be "Piglet follows the Weeder".
