You’ll take the Tube. You’ll hate it. The air smells like a mix of old socks, anxiety, and someone’s forgotten sandwich. The seats are velvety and absorb the souls of the millions who sat before you. But it’s fast! Mind the gap, because the gap is real, and it will swallow your suitcase.
A surprising fact: the tube map is a schematic, not a real map. Stations that look close on the poster are actually miles apart. It’s a lie. A beautiful, colorful, helpful lie designed to make you feel like you can get anywhere in twenty minutes. You cannot. Accept this.
