Tube to Camden Town for setting up part two. The intent is to go to Inverness St. market, but we never actually get there because there's a new Lidl store on Camden High Street with some fairly impressive sales - a kilo of bananas for 40p.

Over to the South Bank. It's seventeen degrees and a warm breeze off the Thames. Antique prints for sale at an outdoor stall (prices between £15 and £75). There`s a nice one of Hungerford Market, which was bought in the 1860's for the construction of Charing Cross Station. Collect the schedule for the plays at the National Theatre.

On Finchley Road, near the station, a young chalk artist is quickly completing a crucifixion picture with a sky blue background. When we come back past it, he's gone, but there's a cup beside his work saying "homeless soldier".

The HSBC bank card, which worked yesterday, fails to work twice at Sainsbury's and once at Waitrose - so it will be locked now.
