my first ever visit to London Easter 1980


Gosh! What you missed by being such a late-comer.

Sorry.

I date from 1964 so I was indeed a relative latecomer to London. Made
up for it since, mind you.......

Trolleybuses and all
those 1950s pea-soupers for a start.

As it happens I had been through London before then, en route to Dover
for trips to family in Germany.

This involved a walk from Victoria Coach station to Victoria Station.
I remember being very puzzled at all the buses being Green (as we were
walking past all the Green Line stops).
