And that was actually an early night for me.  :-)  But when the boss is 
in town, it makes sense to "be seen", which means 90 minutes driving 
(round-trip).  At least I don't have to do it in NYC traffic. :-)

Ah, well, very clearly then my next move should be Hounslow West.

Yeah, based on my experience walking in central London, that's what, 
about 3 blocks? ;-)

Well, if there's a place where both could be done, LHR Terminal 5 would 
be it.  But I want to keep my bags!

Gatwick is the next logical stop, then.  Or possibly Stansted.  I'll take 
the latter. :-)

:) Walking in central London can be quicker than using overground transport. If you
stay off the main roads. Our blocks are smaller than your about 150 yards or less. 
When I was last in the states I could not believe the size of the blocks, but
then land is cheap. ;)

Most of the east coast cities have city blocks 1/10th of a mile on the long 
side, and (IIRC) 1/5th of 1/10th of a mile on the short side. It makes it 
convenient for knowing how far you have to go - it's 2 miles from 13th 
street to 33rd street.

Heh, you should see the size of the blocks here in Salt Lake City - much 
larger than in most cities, especially in the central part of the city.

Nice; it looks vaguely like the David Austin gardens we visited (but 
obviously very different), might have to add that to our itinerary on our 
next trip.

Along with Kew Gardens, which will be my next move.  My wife and stepson 
tried to take the train there last time we were there, but there was a 
problem that kept the train from Amersham from getting into town.

I think the best we saw, though, were the gardens at Hill House.  It was 
a nice, slightly rainy day when we were there.

Thanks, I did not know that. My vague memories of Miami and Pittsburgh were of
much larger blocks.

Well, I'm speaking of the ones where most of the layout was before 
automobiles - NYC, Philadelphia, etc.  Obviously it's not going to hold 
across the board, but in the "old" cities, it's not too uncommon. (Assuming 
they were planned at all, of course. :-)

That makes sense of course. It's just that I grew up in a place that the only
planning was to go up when there was a hill and down in a valley ;)
There are lots of strange shaped intersections and areas called "the new town"
because they were built only 200 years ago. :P

Our blocks are too irregular to say. Just looking on a local map they range from
60 ft to 350 yards

You fell foul of the "no revisits on high days and holidays" rule, yesterday

You have to admit the juggler who was there when I was there was pretty 
good.  Then again, you probably don't have to admit anything of the sort 
since you weren't there. ;-)

I'm tempted to go to Seville and we can have the "two barbers", but as 
that's in Spain and we've already done a continental journey this
