London Bound







In London tonight and early morning tomorrow for business. Camera at the ready, I've been around taking some interesting TV inspired snaps as well as one that has to be here for ironic value.

So here, taken from a Hull Train service from Grantham to Kings Cross (not the train I should have been on but lets not go there) is Alexandria Palace - where it all started for television broadcasting in the United Kingdom.



From Tottenham Court Road is this quite nicely framed shot of the Telecom Tower, Post Office Tower, BT Tower, however you want to call it. I wonder if WOTAN is still in there?


Interestingly I took this shot from nearby Goodge Street tube station which seems to have closedown. Given that I used it regularly to get to some techie stores on the TCH, does anyone know how long its closure is going to be?


And the final photo today is an ironic one, taken close to Kings Cross Station.

Of course I'll leave it to you to work out the irony.

  1. Hiya. Goodge Street station only closed some weekends due to engineering works, not permanently. Hope this is some relief for you. Regards, Jon.
