Curry 1 Terrorists 0
![]() So the tubes were in a chaos, the buses weren't running and chunks of London were sealed off with police tape - but we had a date with a curry! ![]() We decided to walk the 4-odd miles to the Strand, and it turned out to be a very pleasurable experience indeed. With many roads closed and no buses running, walking along Kennington Road felt like a trip back to the early 20th century, with lines of commuters walking back in the early evening sunshine. ![]() Crossing Waterloo Bridge. In central London, everything was back to normal, with the bustling streets punctuated with al fresco diners and groups of people enjoying an apres-work drink or two. We enjoyed a lovely curry - another impromptu meal for the urban75 Book Club - at the gloriously down-at-heel India Club. The food isn't the greatest, but it's a good old fashioned no-nonsense curry house, where you can bring in your beer and take your time. Recommended. |
