You may well not know this but I am a self-certified ‘transport geek’ so the recently opened Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) feels like the perfect excuse to share a few suggestions of places to visit along its route. It also, by the way, starts in Reading, ends in Shenfield, and takes in Heathrow, Paddington and centrally located stations en-route and will be a great way for some of you to get to the Club faster and more directly. Paddington
Tottenham Court Road The Dominion Theatre outside the station is currently home to the great hit musical Grease which is running until late October.
Farringdon Head to the brutalist architectural icon, The Barbican. The Our Time on Earth exhibit is an immersive exploration of the way we live along with The Barbican Theatre where the musical Anything Goes delights audiences.
Liverpool Street You’ll find one of London’s most interesting small museums here, it’s on an old Georgian terrace and called Dennis Severs House. He lived there between 1979 and 1999 and turned it into a time capsule. To note: open Thursday to Sunday.
After Paddington Bear’s wonderful cameo appearance at the Queen’s Jubilee, there’s no better location to start the Paddington Bear guided tour. A quick stop at the Paddington Bear gift shop located in the station is always a must!
