Lord's Cricket Ground London

With a few emails sent out and finally I found some accommodation with a long lost friend from school. Jock Archibald; now living in London, was able to put me up for a couple of nights whilst my jet lag vanished. I was able to catch up again with Polo (Mark Dempster) as he was now working down in Portsmouth (southern England). A few tourist …

Thanks to running club mate Fast Legs, I had a ticket for the second day, first test, NZ v Eng. FL had suggested we'd meet at 10.15, which was a bit early for a new parkrun trip, so I headed back to Ally Pally - a great course, and also a place I could drive to and leave the car for free. I'd run there twice before, but both times were in winter, …

Fletcher and I have been to London a number of times, Fletcher more than twice as many as I have. However, we have not been to the home of cricket, Lord's. Today we decided to remedy that. Most people know that we both enjoy cricket and are SACA members so it was great to finally visit the place where the MCC was established and the rules …

Why do I do things like that to myself? It is over twelve kilometres to Big Ben from my hostel straight there, and I walked there the long way around, and most of the way back. I finally got the money settled in my account around 3:00am this morning, so the first thing I did after breakfast was pay the remaining difference off my hostel stay. I was …

Our Tuesday in London.



So today we had planned to start the day off with a walk to
Lord's Cricket Ground through Hyde Park. We knew we had a bit more time today
so we didn’t get ready as quickly and just had a relaxing morning. We had
breakfast and then left our hotel about 9.15am, with full intention …

The split day. Chris and Edward spent the day at the cricket. Kath and Liam spent the afternoon at the zoo. Ed and I jumped into a cab which had been booked via the front desk. It was supposed to have allowed us to pay via credit card. When I tried to pay at Lords the driver wanted cash so he had to take us to a local cash machine. Because of this …

Quite unexpectedly I got a chance through my company QSG to visit London my dream city about which I had been listening and reading about since I was a child.

It was a great experience and the client Mr. Chris Branagan was a great host. We stayed at a Hotel in East Finchley and traveled by Tube to Camden town each day to the office for 4 …
