I used to live in Green Lanes, very close to Manor House station. If memory serves sometimes there’d be live music at The Manor House pub, also very close to the station!

Oh yes i remember the pub very well.
My parents were fairly strict with us girls (our brother could do anything) but we were warned to keep away from that pub, as it had a ‘dodgy’ reputation!

London is probably the safest place in the country.
I saw Rainbow at the Rainbow back in the early 70s.
How much longer are you here for, Bruce? Can I buy you a lunch?
By the way Chilli, in the 80’s, i had a flat just off the Green Lanes, between Manor House, and Turnpike Lane - loved living there.

Yep, that was around the time I was sharing a flat with my girlfriend and some student buddies. I’ll always remember The Greek bakeries in Green Lanes. Sometimes we’d stroll down to Sainsbury’s in Wood Green for provisions. Usually beer etc for parties!

Today’s adventure.
Took the tube to Green Park to discover it is not so green but in fact my favourite shade of drought brown (no mowing)
Then on to see if Charlie was home.
Alas he was not in so I didn’t get to say hello.
A slight detour to visit what I hope was @Besoeker 's pub. They’d even put out cones for me.
Had a couple of pints of quite strong lager (by UK standards) before staggering back to Green Park.
A quick lie down before it was time to head off to the theatre.
A strange comedy but I quite liked it, The star was a very talented lady, I think she wrote it too.
The problem is that both shows I went to had West End stars who were obviously well known to the rest of the audiences but completely unknown to me.
Tomorrow morning I catch the train back to the wilds of Macclesfield after a very enjoyable (exhausting) few days in London.
BTW I have never felt unsafe anywhere in London bearing in mind I lived in Brixton in the 1960s when it had something of, shall we say, a reputation.
