London Bridge station

[laughs]

You can, you can get money off in the Itsu down by London Bridge Station.

Okay.

And Jane and I are here entirely for the discounted gym membership.

And it's about this Polish guy who joined the Nazis and killed a whole lot of people, then managed to escape and be brought over and got eventually to England without them knowing.

And we ended up as a ticket collector in London Bridge Station around the corner from here.

And he was the only person tried in Britain for war crimes.

What advice would you give younger women? Never give up.

Of course the London-

London Bridge Station is a suburb.

London Bridge is...

Are you sure? I thought London Bridge Station...

Is it just in the City? When you come out London Bridge, I thought there's a remnant of the wall there.

I thought that was just in the boundaries of the City, no?

Yeah.

Yeah, of course, Hamilton Hall.

I hurried at once to put the case in your hands.

As a matter of fact, I swear a man followed me out of London Bridge Station.

Carry on.

Inspector Lestrade, Mr. Holmes.

Our stay in the great metropolis gave us but little opportunity of seeing much of the place, for in twenty-four hours after our arrival we joined the rest of the delegates and started on our visit to our Gaelic neighbours.

We assembled at the London Bridge railway station on Tuesday morning the 21st, a few minutes past nine, to the number of six hundred.

The day was fine and every eye seemed to glow with enthusiasm.

Besides the delegates, there were probably not less than six hundred more who had come to see the company start.

... instances recently that just really hit home to me.

So, so in London Bridge Station, this must be going back maybe five years, maybe longer, I can't remember which company, one of the big companies who owns those sites in, in transport hubs, they wanted to test out a new format of kind of convenience store within a station, and they created this r- lovely space in London Bridge which had a g- which had some, a great variety of things, including two cook freezers, but a good kind of selection of interesting food.

It had some kind of pretty high-end wine, it had some books.

Mm.

The headlines are Mysterious Affair at Lower Norwood Disappearance of a Well-Known Builder Suspicion of Murder and Arson A Clue to the Criminal That is the clue which they are already following, Mr. Holmes, and I know that it leads infallibly to me.

I have been followed from London Bridge Station, and I am sure that they are only waiting for the warrant to arrest me.

It will break my mother's heart.

It will break her heart.' He wrung his hands in an agony of apprehension, and swayed backward and forward in his chair.

I at once saw the horrible danger of my position.' and I hurried to put the case into your hands.

I have no doubt that I should have been arrested, either at my city office or at my home.

A man followed me from London Bridge Station, and I have no doubt—' "'Great Heaven! What is that?' It was a clang of the bell, followed instantly by heavy steps upon the stair.

A moment later our old friend Lestrade appeared in the doorway.' Over his shoulder I caught a glimpse of one or two uniformed policemen outside.

I loved it, but also hated it.

I remember standing in the queue 'cause, um, uh, I don't know if either of you have been to the London Dungeon, but this was, um, back in, uh, when it used to be at Tooley Street before it moved to, uh, the Embankment, so, um, where London Bridge Station is today, so.

Is it worth going to, uh, uh, as it stands nowadays, would you say?

I haven't been there since the school trip, but-

Um-

Okay

... because before when it was at Tooley Street, it was, um, it, it was in sort of, you know, the, the underside arches of, of London Bridge Station, so it, it was creepy and-

Yeah

No, no one says, "I'm not going to Manchester today, it takes five minutes too long." It's absurd.

And so these theoretical models effectively are used to justify investment instead of simple empirical observation about what people really like, which may well be toilets at London Bridge Station, by the way.

But the other thing I was gonna point out, because what we've in fact, what I've listened to here is that we've actually got the two of you with books, and I'll come back to you in a second, Peter, at the end.

But we've got the ...
