Gone again

, , ,

I blogged a week or so ago that some new flag poles had appeared in Parliament Square and the protestors had been moved off the grass.

I passed through the Square this week, and they'd gone again!

New flag poles?

, , ,

I'm often in Westminster and passing through Parliament Square. I'd not noticed these (what I assume are) flag poles before so I'm guessing they're new. Also, looks like the demonstrators have been moved off the grass as their tents seem to now be on the pavement (they'll need to tie them down well with the gales we're expecting this weekend).

The quickest route to Westminster challenge

, ,

If you've ever wondered, which I'm sure you haven't, which was the quickest route to Westminster from the City (Moorgate/Old Street are) then I can say with confidence and from experience that it is marginally quicker to go via the Jubilee line!

I can tell you this as my colleague Clive challenged me to a race across London as we were going to the same meeting the other day. He thought it was quicker via the District Line, but I thought Jubilee line. No this was no mean challenge given Clive's expertise with London Underground, but nonetheless I was victorious but only by about 2 minutes.

So there you have it!
