   Ah yes, 1987. You could leave your front door unlocked in those days - and there were parties in the streets most weeks. Takes me back, it does.

   Y'see this is what the internet is for!

   Having walked past it so many times I have been meaning for ages to find out the history behind Strand (Aldwych) tube station. Now I know!
