First time for everything? This desire line is a curve, rather than a straight line. The tree seems to have got in the way... but why did the path only emerge on one side of the tree?

A new semantics for a new generation

"Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death" said Hunter S. Thompson. This quote appears here and gives a new direction for research. The London taxi as a black art, a species apart, which wends a tricky way through the streets of the capital. The driver has The Knowledge, and hence a bigger brain. She has learned a new language - I had Screaming Lord Sutch in the back of the cab last week... and an answer to every question, except one: Will you take me to South London?

Heavy rainfall leads a torrent of water over the Lea Bridge Sluices. Once the lock and flood control systems are in place at Three Mills, this area will not longer be so obviously a river....

Bank vs. Monument

This leaflet is a lie. There is almost complete freedom to interchange between Bank and Monument. The only real change is that the new tunnel from Monument to the Bank DLR level is closed, and that there are some one way systems in places, depending on the time of day. The entrance in King William IV Street seems to open past the normal 9pm weekday close, since this is the only "official" route to the DLR / Northern Line.

Some signs have been covered up so that newbies and tourists cannot find the quick way from A to B. My guess is that the fire and safety rules would not allow the scheme described in the leaflet!

A picture of the flow of humankind through the tunnels and channels of the Tube at Green Park. Nice.

The flow of suits and black clad office workers takes place throughout the day, but at night a different species appear, the Yellow Jackets
