Learning London geography

If you want to have fun, just get lost deliberately and find your way back without an A to Z, then spend hours at home desperately trying to work out where you've been. :)

Do that, it's much more fun and encourage you to explore further than reading a map.

me and the missus do that every now and then (by foot, not by bike), insofar we discovered;

• great restaurant that no one seemed to know of
  
• lovely little square that's hidden away
  
• unique little shop, especially antique
  
• better (and prettier) route to commute
  
• hidden gem from the London past that's not worth mentioning in guide book.
  
  

Even thought my missus has only been here a little over 2 years, she know a great deal of London more than my sister whom lived here all her life.

her sense of direction is also shockingly bad, doesn't stop her from finding her way home, she would instantly know where to go if she was given a job as a courier.
