Makes me wanna visit London.
great post! London has soooo many treasures, you just have to be 'awake' enough to spot them and appreciate them!
I have to say I'm a little disappointed in you liking Kens buses though! The old routemasters weer gorgeous! see what I think of his here
(shameless self link I know!)
Paul, Don't get me wrong - I was praising London's buses in general, not the new ones. I remember when night buses didn't run as regularly or all night, but now bus routes and timetables are great! I loved the Routemaster too!!
