Geo-Trips :: A slightly less sinister "Circus"

Piccadilly

A walk from Eros, Sat, 16 Jan 2016 by Basher Eyre

I got the original title from John le Carré, although I think his was Cambridge Circus. From Eros I headed up to Regent Street, then along Oxford Street, down parallel to Park Lane and back via Jermyn Street to dear old PC
