Take a fakation to Londres

Not that you'll be visiting soon -- you probably have something more exciting like a trip to Hilton Head or Toronto -- but if you did this is how you'd drive to my house:

A couple of rules for driving here:

1) Stay to the left.
2) Don't worry your pretty little head about yielding to pedestrians.
3) Stay out of the City unless you want to pay a daily charge of £8 (about $16).

To get to my flat from Lambeth North start weaving your way north until you cross the Thames (pronounced Tems, Dad), then head east. When you see Tower Hill, Aldgate or Liverpool Street you're getting close! Commercial Street runs north-side in a lovely shade of green. Running parallel to the east is Brick Lane. Drive carefully north on Brick Lane and try to avoid the Curry hustlers on the south end and the fashion victim hipsters in the middle. Once you get near Bethnal Green road you've made it. I won't tell you how to get any closer for fear of strangers reading this who would actually visit London and pay me a visit for nefarious purposes. Like stealing my drying rack.
