I live just at the edge of this map, and it includes so many treasures to explore. The West End is a great repository of history and culture — hopefully, the Arts so central to it will be able sometime in the not-too-distant future, to return to their former glory. Helen, when I first came to a London, I, too, stayed at the Strand Palace, a fantastic place to base oneself. As I have been stuck in California for over a year due to Covid, I can’t wait to return to my London life — whatever it offers these days.

I love it! Maybe one day I’ll get back across the pond to walk those streets in person….

This little area has such a wonderful feel to it. I seem to recall a folk cellar in the church itself during the late 60’s. I could be mistaken . I used to go to Bunjies down the road, which had some superb folk music on a Saturday although its just a bit outside Adam’s map. One of my favourite spots was the all night post office by Trafalgar Square where you could go to post a letter or parcel at any time. Did such a place ever exist? It now seems a figment of my imagination. I cant even find a reference on google. I know that I stood in a queue there, at night, a few times but perhaps it was in my dreams

I love the curious facts. The one that caught my eye was the fate of Charles II’s hundreds of gondolas. Thank you.

GA, I enjoyed perusing Adam Dent’s great map of St. Martin in the Fields parish, my favorite part of London. I usually stay up the street at the Strand Palace (directly across from the Savoy) so I can drift out at leisure to have lunch at the Crypt in St. Martin’s or stroll through the National or Portrait Gallery.

Missing London today…
