When I first came to live and work in London in late May 1997, I thought Hammersmith Tube/Bus Station was the centre of the universe. 🙂 You could pretty much catch a bus or the Tube and reach any part of London you required, and if you stood still for a few moments, you could … Continue reading Weekday Walk | The Thames Path at Hammersmith
