No, I was speaking for you. :)
Our blocks are too irregular to say. Just looking on a local map they range from
60 ft to 350 yards

There is a chance of falling foul of the "no revisits on high days and holidays"
rule, this being Ash Wednesday. 
So I'll go to the site of the infamous Tyburn Tree, Marble Arch.

You're playing it awfully carefully.....

And awfully safe. :-)

I would be remiss if I didn't make a stop at Covent Garden - that is the 
first of London we saw, after all.

Ah! Ha!

You fell foul of the "no revisits on high days and holidays" rule, yesterday
being Ash Wednesday, and all. We were there on 20 Jan 2009. You are now in spoon
and must miss your turn.

We move to the Barbican.
