A Walk across London

The route from Euston to St James Piccadilly

The route on a Booth poverty map (Blue=poor)

Tavistock - Named after the Tavistock Clinic- set up after WW1 to treat shell shock.  The garden has a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi, with a recess in the plinth for flowers.  Also a rock dedicated to the consciousness objectors of WW2, and a cherry blossom tree planted in 1967 in memory of those who died in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  There is also a bust in memory of Virginia Wolf, where one of her houses stood at the far side of the square.

Russell - Very fine and large square.

Bedford -  Unspoilt Georgian square, once home to many famous people from politics and the aristocracy.  Former home of Lord Eldon.  perhaps the Lord Eldon who discussed the Chedworth Villa?

Soho -Famous for it's electricity substation (Swiss chalet?)  Also it's statue of Charles II which is disappeared between 1875- 1938.  Carved in 1661 and year after the restoration.  Soho was a poor area of London.

Golden -  Another royal statue, but is it GeorgeII or CharlesII again?  I think George.

The Route we actually too because James led the way
(It was his old route to work)

Main Features
1) Indian YMCA at Fitzroy Square-  (A place to eat)
2) Geordies old Flat under the Telecom Tower where Joanna B lived for a while
3) The BBC and Eric Gills full frontal Statue.  Also a view into the News Room.
4) Berkeley Square (where James used to work- (no toilets- not suitable for changing for a funeral.)

And the return route was my plan (in reverse).
1) Apart from pointing out a few obscure pop cultural references (lost on me), we past the pump where the Dr John Snow worked out that Cholera was transmitted via infected water. 
2) We walked down Dean Street where Karl Marx lived in poverty (get a job) for a number of years.
