Haven't been to Covent Garden yet this year, so we go. Possibly a mistake on a Saturday. Under the false impression that most of the London visitors had gone home. In fact they're all still on the underground. Given to holding map reading conferences at the bottom of escalators. J heard to mutter bloody tourists at one bottleneck. Covent Garden pretty full too. But always fun, particularly the crafts. Fall for - but don't buy - intriguing pendant featuring old-fashioned watch works. Really no genuine bargains to be had, but lots of enjoyment. Then Northern line from Leicester Square to Camden Town. The high street much as usual, and suspect mainly locals. Market area a sea of humanity. Not unusual. Camden Tube station on Saturdays is exit only. Slow bus to Kilburn and home.
