Pass Paul and Jill on our way down to the tube. They're on their way out for a Burmese lunch. Then down to Earl's Court to visit the mobile shop J found last spring with the cheap sim cards and friendly proprietor. It's gone, as is the big, cheap internet. There's a new Philippine bank though. So we try a few more places, acquire a fair bit of misinformation, and rediscover the area, which seems more Asian and less Australian than it used to.

Trafalgar Square for Charing Cross bank and the event info from the Portrait Gallery. Email check at the Canadian Consulate and a bit more shopping in Camden Town. Try phoning Jean but not much luck with the phone boxes and a puzzling "restricted access" message when I try using the mobile.
