Even Fenchurch Street is closer to Charing Cross than Paddington... As is Marylebone. That's the thing about Central London termini: they're ALL central! |

That's the thing about Central London termini: they're ALL central! In my mind it's "central" if it's within sensible walking distance of something useful. I used to work in Traf Sq., and used to shop in Tottenham Ct Rd. So, for me, neither Padd nor Fen St qualify. ;-) -- My most recent pictu http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p11858315.html (170 504 passing Slindon at speed on 31 Jan 2005) |

And no, it's not on the internet! |
