Walking From Manor House To Harringay Green Lanes

According to Wikipedia this is considered to be a walkable interchange between Manor House and Harringay Green Lanes stations between the Piccadilly and Gospel Oak to Barking lines.

Yesterday I walked it from the Manor House end and took these pictures.

It was a reasonably easy walk, as it’s all downhill. It was also very pleasant going into and out of Finsbury Park and past a cafe and a nursery, that sold plants.

Note the Manor House Pub, which was famous in the 1960’s for its rock music.

Coming back, I took a bus from Harringay Green Lanes to the Angel to do some shopping.

Haggerston Espresso Room

This cafe is close to my new doctors.

The coffee was good, but the gluten-free polenta cake was brilliant.

Where Can I Buy Ipswich Town Mugs In London?

As you can see from the pictures on this site, I have an Ipswich Town football mug. I have friends, who support other teams and now that I get my coffee across the road, it would be nice to be able to get their coffee in an appropriate mug.

So I thought, it would be nice to purchase some mugs.  I searched for a place to buy an Ipswich one in London and there doesn’t appear to be any shop selling football mugs.  Except of course, those for the Premiershits.

It looks like a business opportunity to me! It could also make a nice themed cafe.

I can at least get another Ipswich one today, but I’m in desperate need for one for Brighton, Hull and Sheffield United. Failing that, how about an official nPower mug, listing all the clubs in the Championship and Divisions One and Two!

Look Mum No Hands

This must be the only cycling cafe in London.

The gluten-free cake was nice too.  Even if the weather outside was appalling.

The cafe was very busy. It had a buzz about it too.  Everybody was watching the cycling in Spain on a big screen.

An Advantage Of A Freedom Pass

I have a Freedom Pass and one of the advantages is to go places, you’ve never been before. Today I walked to Dalston Junction station and took the East London line to Brockley station.

In a way it was just to have a coffee at Brown’s of Brockley. As you can see the cafe is just by the station.

Is this an example of how new transport links create employment?

At least the coffee was worth the trip, even if I did return soon after I’d finished my cappuccino.

A Real Takeaway Cappuccino

I needed a proper coffee, whilst waiting for my new washer/dryer to be delivered. So I took a cup over to EggsMilkButter and told them to fill it.

A Real Takeaway Cappuccino

So I ended up with proper coffee in a real mug.  They said, it was good for them, as they’d outsourced some of the washing up.
