{Route 49}
I have never been one to champion the bus over the train, the amount of hours i've spent 'too(ing)' and 'fro(ing)' from school, then college, then uni. At any available opportunity i would of taken the train.
However, i have been in London 2 months now, and i am slowly discovering the benefits of the bus!
Route 49 = Clapham Junction to South Kensington
Today is a drawing day, and no, tomorrow is not a colouring in day. I spent the morning in the V&A, to begin with sitting on the floor (wriggling around to get comfortable) perching next to a pillar not to be tripped over by school trips. Then a lovely staff member brought me a stall. 3 hours went by easily, and it was really enjoyable and relaxing.
Now - back to the bus route. For along time i've been quite disorientated, i've know where i live in regards to tube stops and church, but anything further afield is just a bit blurred. The biggest issue with the tube, is that you can't see whats above you! But with the bus my mind was suddenly like 'boom boom' i know where that is, i can't believe im so close!
So this morning, i discovered where battersea park is (very close) and we went through Chelsea and down the Kings Road, with all the luxury shops and tall white houses with big door knockers. And because your on the top deck - you can see in and over the walls! Its great! We also wen't past the Royal College of Art - so i peaked into the studios. People are just more relaxed on the bus, it's amazing what a bit of light can do to a persons mood!
