Walking around the corner to the Nags Head, we then board the 1537 Metroline service 43 to Friern Barnet (Library), arriving there at 1627 on Monday afternoon.
Boarding the 16:35 Arriva London North service 221 we peruse the list of destinations. Few leap out and grab us until we see the immortal name of the capitalist utopia that is the "Wood Green Shopping City". An entire city for shopping! Such decadence! Acres upon acres dedicated entirely to the process of bartering! Are these the last days of Sodom?
Twenty odd minutes later the only real question we have is how such a run-down dystopian edifice that would barely be tolerated in the most backwater-y of provincial towns has somehow managed to survive in zone 3.
With an existential groan we alight at the Wood Green Shopping City at 16:54 on this Monday afternoon.
Transferring to the other local bus route in the vicinity, we board Metroline service 384 on Whitings Rd at 1821 to Cockfosters Station arriving at 1858 Monday evening.
We walk to the bus stop outside the tube station and board the 2026 London United service H91 to Hammersmith bus station that arrives there at 2054 on Monday evening.

We take the seven minute walk to the bus depot stop and board the 2338 Metroline service 182 to Brent Cross (Shopping Centre) that arrives there at 0022 on Tuesday morning.
There really is no point being here as the shops are all shut, so we board the 0030 London Sovereign service 326 to Totteridge & Whetstone Station, arriving there at 0052 in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Sprinting down the stairs to the southbound platform of the station; by some stretch of a miracle we manage to catch the very last southbound train all the way to the terminus at East Finchley; where we arrive at 01:03 on this Tuesday morning
We leave the station and walk to the adjacent bus stop on East Finchley High Road where we board the 0119 Metroline service N20 to Charing Cross (Trafalgar Square) that arrives there at 0153 on Tuesday morning.
We leave the station and take the two minute walk to the bus stop on Wrotham Road and board the 1024 Arriva Kent Thameside service 308 to Seal (Crown Inn on High Street) that arrives there at 1105 on Tuesday morning.
After a brief lunchtime sample of the wares of Shepherd Neame (which is mandatory in Faversham; just like a hot dog in New York; chicken rice in Singapore or a Wasabi at Waterloo) we head for more pastoral climes. Boarding 1S38 at 14:24; we travel to the cosmopolitan hub of Snowdown; where we arrive at 14:52 this Tuesday afternoon
On leaving the station, we take the eight minute walk to the bus stop on Ladywell and board the 1647 Stagecoach in East Kent "The Diamond" service 15 to Deal (South Street) that arrives there at 1725 on Tuesday afternoon.
