1) London NE: I suspect I'm the only tourist in this part of London today. From the oh-so-quiet station (just me getting off, then) I've walked past a paint-splattered poster of David Cameron, a very local parade of shops and an appropriately-named pub. Over the culverted stream, up the suburban hill, and my objective looms beyond a muddy rectangle of grass. There's nobody here, not even an exercising hound, but I bet the curtains are twitching as I complete one squelchy circuit. Close by in the centre of town, mobility scooters and pushchairs ply the pavements, dipping into numerous independent stores and charity shops. This place may wish it was in Essex proper, but it's nicer here than you might think. [take a look]
