In London again on Monday

[janewilliams20]

And since it seems that last time, had I given notice, I could have had friendly company, let's try again. On Monday at about 12-12:30, I will be arriving at Monument station, grabbing a quick and non-messy bite to eat, and heading east towards a little place called Idol Lane, which on Google Streetview looks rather pretty. Are any of you in the area?

I'm nearby in Wapping, though a bit under the weather, if you fancy a bit of a walk?

Sounds like a possibility for post-interview rather than pre-, if you're not in the immediate area. I have no idea when I'll be out - let me have contact details, perhaps, and I'll get in touch at the time?

Thanks, got the address in the message. I love the Transport for London site: it found me several interesting bus routes, each of whcih took about 45 minutes, then pointed out that I could simply walk it in 35. Not when dressed for an interview I can't... Given that I probably won't escape till 3, and want to get home before rush hour hits, I don't think this is going to work out - shame :(

Sadly (in the circumstances, though I am not at all sad about not having to trudge into the office in the snow), I am working at home today and for most, if not all, of this week.

There is a great route planner for walking in London and a few other large places at www.walkit.com. It gives you estimated times at slow, medium and fast pace and also tells you how many calories you'll use up and other interesting factoids. I find it really useful.
