They’ve finally opened Tavistock Square, at least to pedestrian traffic. It looks completely normal, although I’m sure there used to be some plaques on the front of the BMA building. It was only after my previous post that I found out that it was Tavistock Square rather than Tavistock Place where the bus exploded: the former is right on my walk to work from Kings Cross and is only a few hundred yards from where I work. Yesterday, I couldn’t get through, although the police blockade was looking quite relaxed. I’ve been on holiday for a week in Cornwall, and I will admit to being glad to escape the feeling of claustrophobia in London, although I still followed the pompous updates on BBC news. The other strange thing is, further to what I wrote the other week, there is still the feeling that there is a tube strike. There are far more people walking around the Euston Road area than normal because half the underground lines are still out in the north of Central London: you never get that many people in suits walking down Gordon Street in the morning, this being a university area if anything.
