The London Underground has been down for the last couple of days due to industrial action. I’m not going to get into the details of it, if I did I could get quite annoyed, but I wanted to focus on a slightly unexpected result it has had for me, namely how much I enjoyed walking to work yesterday and taking the bus home to see a bit more of the city than usual.

I guess it has a large amount to do with the fact the weather was nice, but I’ve been quite enjoying the new sights and streets I’ve encountered just by changing my route to work. I certainly haven’t arrived at work quite so depressed after another arduous tube journey – I think I’ll walk more often from now on…
