Tragical Mystery Tour

When you got out for the evening, and then happen upon a late-opening bar just around the corner, and you take the camera, you get this:
Somewhere in deepest Notting Hill, the booze is flowing.

Then there's the morning:
Something you'll never see in a beer ad.

Abbey Road (yes, that one) is the desination so it's through Brunel's masterpiece - one of them, anyway - Paddington Station.

And thence to Kilburn Park Station. As the Bakerloo line is 100 years old this year, it's a fair bet that this buiding is of similar vintage.

Good time for lunch but, sadly, not in this lovely pub. The only grub on offer here is Asian - normally a very good bet but not with a hangover. Next door did normal sarnies and specialised in exploding ketchup which was fun.

We passed by this road which only gets a mention because the band 'Kilburn and the High Roads', featuring the legendary Ian Drury who went on to form The Blockheads, was a massive influence on the early punk movement. And we're doing music today.

Nestling in the lovely borough of Camden we find this.

So lovely is Camden, the residents quite happily live in these - built by the same people that do the prisons by the look of it.

The Abbey Road studios, currently owned by EMI.

THAT zebra crossing. In the wet, dodging traffic and avoiding the gaggle of other tourists. The things we do for art!
