The construction for the 2012 Olympic Games is now over. The less than £9 billion stumped up by UK taxpayers (£142 for every man, woman and child in the UK) has been spent into the economy and claimed as GDP. Now it's time to reap the real rewards as the thousands and thousands of visitors from across the globe descend upon London, spend spend spend, put massive pressure on the transport system and generally crowd out the city. Anyone who lives in the UK and particularly London will have heard the cries to stay away if possible. If not possible then plan and book journeys well in advance. With these warnings ringing in my ears it was with much fear and trepidation that I awoke this morning and realised I had to travel into central London.
This is my journey....
This is my journey....
After a surprisingly easy Tube journey I alight at Tottenham Court Road and wonder if I am really in one of the countries busiest streets on a Sunday. I never intended this to become a blog post and so apologise as I only had a cheap camera phone with me to record the day.
