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

That was rather well played. Congratulation. [Smile]

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:

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).

Sorry - I'm Scottish and female, so I can't possibly be expected to understand cricket. I can, however, make sense of tennis:

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.

Don't bother, it's HORRIBLE.

Go and see some proper sculpture at the Tate ... and so, back to Pimlico I suggest.
