The top deck of a London bus has to be a pretty neat way of seeing the world below.
And when it is the same bus at about the same time every day then you have got yourself a project.
All you need is a camera and the patience each week to record the same spot and the rest as they say is Larissa Hamment’s “Pictures from an Eltham bus.”*
Yesterday she did us proud with two pictures of that pub on Court Yard and the comment,
“Morning Andrew, waiting to go to Woolwich & thought I'd get a nice shot of the old Crown pub, it's being developed but not sure what for.......”
Now nor do I, and while we could go to the planning portal of the Council to find out I won’t, given that I like surprises.
Added to which someone will know and tell us, along with lots of people who have fond memories of a night in the Crown, from those who called in after getting off the bus, to those celebrating Aunty Enid's going away party.
We shall see.
Location, Court Yard, Eltham, London
