...particularly when you see what became of the Gaumont Theatre and the Marble Arch Pavilion.

Not sure I'd want to have lived in central London in those days, but I'd love to be able to pop back and have a week's visit...

I've never lived in London but had family there years ago. My first impressions almost 60 years ago were of the polar bear at London Zoo (Brumas) and all the little stubs of metal in the concrete kerbs outside peoples front gardens! Only much later did I realise that the iron railings which should have been there had gone to the war effort.

And a pretty good effort it was an' all...
