To Seven Kings

Mike's house is in Seven Kings in the greater area of Ilford (roughly east London). I got off the bus in Stratford on Friday night and was feeling ill after a bad trip. The locals are fairly scary, and I suddenly felt very grateful that I live in Cambridge. It was hot too.

I somehow found the train station and got a train fairly quickly and painlessly to Seven Kings where Mike met me. We drove through some surprisingly un-London-like traffic and came to their street which is a lovely little haven within some pretty ugly city. The houses are all the same in the street, very pretty, semi-detached (damn, should have taken a photo), and they have huge long back yards.
