Part I
This is what we did -
Walked and walked and walked, took pics, browsed some shops, enjoyed the sunshine, drank coffee..... (My new fave shoes by the way!):
This derelict site used to be where The Middlesex Hospital (opened in 1745) used to be, in Fitzrovia, until the vile Candy & Candy property developers demolished it to make way for luxury apartments, though their plan failed. Fools.
Part II
The next 3 pictures were taken in beautiful Doughty Street, the street where Charles Dickens lived for just 2 years (1837-39), during his time here he wrote The Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby and Oliver Twist.

If he were still alive he would be in my gang. What gang I hear you say? The Groovy Gang!
