Simon at London Transport Museum
Had a now couple hours walking round here. Not been before.
-
Colin Chorley:
Been meaning to make a trip here myself, always on the list but never been.

Lee Nixon:
So is it Strand Station or is it Aldwych Station? And why's it still there?
-
Simon Wicks:
It was the Strand when it first opened, then renamed Aldwych when another one opened up the road. Was closed because only about 150 people used it a day and the lifts stopped working. The Cost to replace the lifts wast worth it. It's still there for a filming location, and training. :)

Lee Nixon:

Is this open all the time or just the odd day here and there? Would love to check this out.
-
Simon Wicks:
Just a couple of days a year I think. We were a bit rushed around though, didnt get much time to stop, take pics and take it in as they were cramming group after group in. Is about £20 pp and that gets you free entry to the transport museum too.
I use Gowalla to checkin to the office on foursquare from time to time too. Over the tear its built up enough for me to be the mayor. Today Stella hand delivered me a crate of their new cider, an apple and a hand signed picture and note for being the mayor. Amazing!

Corporate Office in Austin
Thank you, Gowalla devs. I've had an amazing couple of years with you, meeting great people and discovering new places, I'm sad to see you go. Wishing you all the best at Facebook, I know you'll do great things.
Sandwich Shop in London
There's nothing incredibly super in the way they make the toasties, no special ingredients, they're just really nice.
