COVENT GARDEN

Covent Garden is a cosy part of Central London next to the West End and theatreland. It has a vibrant nightlife and more than once I have arranged to meet dates there.

WATERLOO

This is the busiest station in London. It is within a stones throw of the Southbank and as you exit one of the first things you spot is the IMAX.

RUSSELL SQUARE

This station is smack in the middle of Euston, Kings Cross and Bloomsbury. It is just around the corner from the square itself which is within walking distance of Holborn.

PICCADILLY CIRCUS

This is a very recognizable place in London from the movies not least for being where An American Werewolf In London climaxes.

Piccadilly Circus is situated at the bottom of Regents Street with Piccadilly leading in from the West and Shaftsbury Avenue from the East. Both Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square are within a stones throw as this is one of the busiest tourist locations of the West End.

KILBURN

The first time I went to Kilburn I was jokingly warned about the local toughs. These were only supposed to be jokes. As I waited in a queue to see Joe Lally play at the Luminare said local toughs decided to throw vegetables at us indie rock fans including an onion that hit me direct in the Crotch. That’s the problem with first impressions; you only get to make them once.
