Trip 9: Elephant and Castle, Lewisham, Brixton, Kensington Olympia, Hammersmith




Life for many in London is nasty, brutish and south. There's not many tube stations down there and in fact you can visit most of them in about an hour. Otherwise the residents have to rely on buses and other road-using transport.




I'm not one of these people who is all snobby about south London, I mean it's got a lot going for it, but traffic is not one of those things. Or rather, traffic is one of those things, as it's got it in abundance.




I took an unexpected detour down memory lane this evening, on the way to Lewisham I realised I'd be going past Goldsmiths College, where I did my MA. I hadn't been back much since leaving but there it was.




You know how things are. They don't change much except for one thing that appears to be telling. A smartened-up pub down the street was about it. And a new shop called 'Rubbish and Nasty'. Art students, gotta love em. Otherwise there were a bunch of places I never went in, the proud Deptford Town Hall (where we took the Media Law exam) and the library.




Well there's only one stop left.
