Guys,

Just taking a look at the dates of the tube strikes it looks like they will effect my normal weekly journey, on a Tuesday morning and Thursday evening, to and from Paddington to Leadenhall (for which I normally take the tube).

What would you all suggest as a route between Leadenhall market and Paddington Train station. Should I get in some Embankment action? :)

Cheers,
FJ

    It's not bad, but I preferred Spitalfields Market when we were further up the road!! :)

    You work in the area, Rick?

    Cheers Hamish.

    Spitalfields has gone all sterile and corporate. Such a shame.

    Have you tried Mamma Thai? I miss that place.

    Back to the subject. If it's anything like previous tube strike days there will be loads of bikes and gridlock from extra cars. I expect it'll get messy and a bit unpleasant. Mind you, it'll still be loads better than the underground.

    Shouldn`t be too bad as I don`t get into Paddington until around 11.30am.

    I`ll give Mama Thai a try.
