Business people don't need to be in town over the weekend...

Archway is not far from KX, it's what I would advise a friend if asked. Also though probably useless, a lot of hotels in the square mile can be relatively cheaper Fri to Sunday. Anyway good luck with your endeavours.

Well yes... Hope you find something that suits... But it's a big ask in zone one.

Tbh nearly all the hotels around KX are chains or geared to groups. My very left field suggestion would be the premier inn at the archway. Kings x by tube in around 12 mins, bus in 25... Added bonus of the heath being a v short bus ride away. Anyway good luck and all the best.

Also people with suitcases standing inside a taped off area.

Also, in old money, your hero voters are working class tory swing voters. Who make/made up between 25 and 50% of the "working class" vote and have always done so.

Ok so you have your hero voters but are you not asking yourself why you are losing life long socialist or progressive labour voters on a large scale?

Wallet with ยฃ120 left on seat, top deck of 253 bus in Clapton, Hackney. Picked up a few days later, fully intact from the TFL lost property office. Absolute Hell Hole indeed !

This cafe is run by Daisy Green, who, following a very dodgy tender process, have just been handed all the cafes on Parliament Hill, Golders Hill Park and Highgate Woods by the Corporation of the City of London.

ยฃ18 for a bacon and egg sandwich.

Just been up there - apparently they've been told to be out by the end of January, after 44 years. They're fighting hard, and really want people to sign this petition. Please spread it wide!

This stuff is honestly so far gone now, it would take a political generation to rebuild. And none of the incentives in British politics are taking us that way.

If you have the full map maybe Senete House finished in 1937 might give a clue and I'm sure there'll be something definitive to be found in the maps. Good luck.

Also doubt it would be published/updated after September 1939 and definitely not in 1940.

New Zealand had/have a system for diesel vehicles where you purchased "miles". You got a windscreen sticker with your purchased miles on and a fine if your mileometer exceeded the stickers milage.

They also possibly do a 2nd round of food after the game when those who went to the game get back.

Prince Edward, Parkhurst Rd N7. Old school local, no plastic glasses, always shows all the games and as a bonus during home games free chips and sausages are served at half time . Tolerates quiet away supporters.
