Yesterday I had occasion to travel to Heathrow and back to Paddington. It may only be 15 minutes
but unfortunately that is far too long to look if you are looking out of the window! I would like
to propose the route between Ealing and Paddington as the most ugly of any approach to London. I
accept that most of the routes have their less than salubrious sections, but the continuous mess
of old sidings, decaying buildings, graffiti, rubbish and concrete underpasses combined with an
already boring landscape makes this route the clear winner. Yes?

Few districts are arranged in such a way that their best aspects point towards
the railway tracks.
