Don’t drive into central London. Just don’t do it. Cycling through Soho this evening I was asked three! times by bewildered foreigners how to get to places that were utterly impossible to describe, given one-way streets and all. And in weaving all over the road and dithering you’re a danger to yourself and everyone else. Catch the bus, or Tube. It is what locals with any sense do.
And note to myself: don’t come back from South London over the Waterloo Bridge at night, even if the alternative is the deadly bicycle lane on Blackfriars Bridge. (Remember when Ken was going to fix that?) Pedestrians in Soho seem to lose whatever little brains they started with after the light goes.
