  On fit, I wouldn’t assume women’s geo unless it actually fits her. As I understand women’s groups assumes proportionally shorter arms / body and longer legs (am sure someone will be here soon to correct me and /or explain all about stack and reach ). That’s not me at all and none of my bikes have had women’s geo. Also, be prepared to spend a bit more on top to get a properly comfortable / fitting saddle (and definitely worth getting sit bones measured when it becomes possible).

  The house looks quite ‘lived in’ now, which is what made me think it was still the original family. I may be wrong but I don’t think they’ve gone slick minimalism inside. I’d v happily live in one of the town houses next door

  Excellent. Not sure I need to give more detail on the house as all you modernist design fiends have all clearly been looking at the listing on the Modern House.

  There are loads of domestic modernist classics scattered round there and over into Highgate and Belsize Park - we’ve been using Stefi Orazi’s ‘Perambulations’ as a guide to explore - might be a good niche BToB ride one day!

  It has been, I think. I thought it was still in the ownership of the original architect’s family, but apparently not.

  The eagle-eyed will notice that I do have a coffee at this point ... I popped into a branch of the Gails industrial-complex on the way, which doesn’t exactly narrow things down in that corner of N London

  New tag. I can’t imagine Cartman living here, I think the hill would be too much for him

  Old tag: Belsize woods. Named after the Manor of Belsize (supposedly Bel Assis, or well situated). No coffee at this point, but a fair few steps. Lucky I have a light-weight push chair ....
