Continuing the pattern

[secretlondon]

Every year I've done challenge 3a (2014, 2015, 2015b, 2016, 2017). I was worried flaneurs might not happen this year. What should I do? Should I do it anyway? What happens if I break the chain?

III. (a)

Travel to or from your workplace one day using a completely different route to any you've ever used before.

Working in zone 6 is only tolerable as it's 20 minutes by train from Vauxhall to Surbiton. Although I could probably get home by bus in several hours I just didn't have the energy. This was a bit boring so I may come up with something better later on in the month.

I considered the K1 bus to New Malden but felt bored. I walked to a main road and all the buses were boring too. Zzzz.

I ended up walking from Tolworth Hospital to Tolworth itself. It started out as suburbia and became a linear shopping street. Tolworth Tower happened and then a roundabout with underpasses, Elephant and Castle style. It's the 1960s! Walking further I got to the station - 1930s Art Deco like others round here. Unlike Surbiton Station the one in Tolworth needs some love and attention. There are only two trains an hour from here. Going the other way I'd end up at Chessington World of Adventures.

Isn't this the only time school children would want to use it? I'm presuming there's a school up the path and this is a cut through.




Tolworth Tower


Futuristic!

Think this is the A3

Tolworth Station needs some love, or maybe just paint.

Tolworth Station does look a bit forlorn. There are lots of pictures on Wikimedia Commons, but yours are clearer than many of them. Maybe it needs snow light to look white :-D
