"I get no kicks walking down Savile Row" - Ray Davies, End of the Season

Note: If you walk like a queen down the Queen's walk from the Green Park Station, you will get to Buckingham Palace, where there is a very big statue of........Victoria! Feel free to sing her chorus (track one of the Arthur album) when you see it.

Other note: American tourists watch the changing of the guard there and say "isn't it a pretty scene?"

Choose a map (each shows a small portion of London): Abbey Road, Archway, Berkeley Mews, Lavender Hill, Muswell Hill, Savile Row, Soho, Victoria and Waterloo.
