London Railways - 16th November 2023

​

Picture
London contains a wealth of transport interest with countless locations and routes to explore using the Day Travel Card, and Oyster. The city offers many busy commuter and freight routes which can be explored using both underground and overground transport links. I visited London on the 16th November 2023 and used a mixture Underground hopes and the London Overground 'Orbital' route in an anticlockwise route from London Paddington to West Brompton, Clapham Junction, Peckham Rye, Barking, and Gospel Oak.  This gallery provides a selection of images from the day. The weather in the city was dull with mild drizzle, but some very nice Autumnal colours were evident.
