329 - Nothing There!
Share
We used to have an old time sweet shop in Salisbury. When my London friends came to visit, Roy made a beeline for it. I can't remember what he bought. It might have been raspberry spaghetti in a bag?
It closed down a couple of years ago and it's been replaced by one of those Harry Potter merchandise stores. A fairytale fantasy, fake fur and plastic version of the Cathedral Close and private school nearby. To be fair they do have some real swords in there. Maybe.
The sprawling queue around a small plaque on the wall at Kings Cross Station marked Platform 9 and 3/4 does not inspire me.
But as the person on Reddit mentioned, the pub hidden upstairs adjacent is a great venue for a flâneur.
