London Transit on a Monday

Hiya!

Happy First Day of Summer! Though you would never know it by the way London's weather is behaving. This morning the rain was plentiful and strong, everyone on the street sought shelter with their umbrella, and I practised my ninja skills by avoiding all those pointy sticks and rain dripping off everyone's 'brollies'.

I can't complain about my commute at all. It's a mere 30-35 minute trip from home to work, with one transfer and an entire ride taken above ground. Even on a rainy day, it's nice to get that extra bit of daylight and keep my circadian rhythm in check. The wonderful thing about London is ease of transport (delays, cancellations, and construction aside!). I know people who live in Zone 6 - which is wildly far from the centre - and they can make it into the city in 25 minutes flat. There is no shortage of transport options if you have an Oyster card and a bit of extra time to cushion for delays.

Today's rain made my commute a little less than awesome, though still a wonderful time all in all.
