Spend the day…..on the Circle Line (Part 3)
Even a London walking tour guide like myself can see the benefits of sitting in a tube train and making your way from A-B, or in this case A-B-A as you go full circle on the aptly named Circle Line. If you were to just sit on the train and do the loop it would… Continue reading Spend the day…..on the Circle Line (Part 3)
