A Leisurely Walk Home

Was getting the train home on Sunday, but because of engineering works the train terminated at Highbury and Islington. I got off, expecting to be able to jump on a replacement bus service, but instead found myself amid a jubilant Arsenal crowd, who were lining the roads, which had been closed off, in anticipation of their Premiership-winning team sailing past in their parade bus later that day.

The delightful walk home took in the sights of Finsbury and Dalston. I was pleased to walk past the Rio cinema in Dalston - one of London's independent cinemas. I've never seen a film there, but now that I know where it is, maybe I will...
