lesapandre Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The caption is not of course technically correct. It is Princess Elizabeth riding the bike as the picture is from WWII. Remspoor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B.B.C. have such a central London outlook that stabbings, murders etc. taking place in Camden are described as having occurred "in north London". While Camden may well have a NW1 postcode, it cannot really be described as "north"! Southgate, Enfield, Winchmore Hill, Barnet, Palmers Green (A.K.A. "Palmers Greek") etc. are "north"! lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesapandre Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The BBC probably regard anything north of the Euston Road as 'North London'... Of course their headquarters on Portland Place is technically in North London being North of the Thames. Euston Arch - 1837-1962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course their headquarters on Portland Place is technically in North London being North of the Thames. Euston Arch - 1837-1962 And inside the old Euston Station before they pulled it down. I realise this would be totally inadequate for the number of passengers that Euston handles today, and the word accessible hadn't even been thought about, but how great would you feel arriving or departing from here. There's a bar off to the right in the second picture. How classy do you think that would that be? I actually like the modern Euston, I like a bit of Modernism (it's not quite Brutalist) though I've not been there for a few years and I probably wouldn't recognise it now as it's being rebuilt for HS2. But I spent a fair amount of my youth hanging around the place, both the railway side and the bus station, but it seems a shame they couldn't have kept the old great hall. Maybe they could have built the new station a little bit further north, though then the platforms would end up on Camden Bank. Either way it does seem tragic to have lost the Great Hall above.
