London Day One

My first day commuting into the city for training.

I walked to Ealing Broadway to get the Central Line straight to Chancery Lane. The train starts out comfortable as Ealing Broadway is the beginning of the line, but gets more and more crowded towards the centre of London. I quietly remind myself this is why I didn’t want to live in London, and that I don't like commuting like a sardine in a can.

Of particular interest was the building my training was in, at 1 Sekforde St, which is an interesting corner location, shaped like a wedge. Inside it's an interesting space, a labyrinth of corridors and stairways, full of creative companies such as architects, designers, advertisers etc. The building was purchased back in the 70's by Pink Floyd, and used as a recording studio, and I am told it's still owned by Nick Mason. I spend all week worshiping the ground I walk on.
