On one mid-afternoon, when the crowds are a little lesser, I went off to explore the platforms and escalators of the London tube. I knew the CCTVs were recording my every move as I clicked away. Even security was keeping an eye. But they were really sweet about it. Guess my enthusiasm was contagious. 🙂

I love the tube. It’s so lived in, comfortable, and efficient! Each tube station so completely unique. The Charing Cross station is the exit for the National Gallery and has Sandro Botticelli’s Venus and Mars adorning its walls. Perfectly apt.
