London, 2014

Just wanted to take a moment to remind everyone what the world used to be like and, perhaps, will be again one day.

This is the Russell Square Tube Station in Bloomsbury, London. It is one of the closer stations to the British Museum. It is served by the Central Line. While we rode in from the house in East Finchley via the Tottenham Court Road Station on the Northern Line during our stay there in 2014, I often found myself walking to this station for a daily outing. While it is smaller and much less busy than the one at Tottenham Court Road, access is by way of an elevator or a torturous set of spiral stairs with something like 80-100 steps. So, you choices are slow or painful. If you've got time or this is the best connection, it is good option.

We miss our visits to London. We were there last about 12 years ago (at least it feels that way) in January of this year.

"Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
— Samuel Johnson

When do we leave?
