It's London, with red buses and everything.

10:44, Saturday 29 August 2015 UTC
Perhaps not quite the inner city yet though.

A park.

In the park.

My first view of the Docklands skyscrapers.

I would see some horses in this place.

These plants aren't normal for London.

This is on a bridleway and there are plenty of hoof prints in the mud so horses must come this way. ...

It doesn't say what shellfish they sell. I hope it's the East End classics, like cockles and eels.

Part of Dagenham and Redbridge's Victoria Road ground.

This little street is Victoria Road.

First game 1917. Capacity 6078. Record attendance 7200....

The arch of Wembley Stadium.

I do like these wide staircases that you get near football grounds.

The windows in this hotel are all angled to give a view of the stadium.

Is that what Batman's doing now?

Oh, I didn't realise the dismantling of Television Centre had already started.

It looks like a scene from some kind of post-apocalyptic film poster.

There must be a story behind this.

One of the gangways used on matchdays.

Stamford Bridge.

A hotel, or possibly even flats, adjoining the ground.

Isn't a mini megastore just a store? Also, why the American spelling of "metres"?

Opposite the ground.
