I wouldn't bother as for the majority of the day, it requires a change at Canary Wharf for the Stratford service.


Was at Westfield Stratford for the second time today. As others have mentioned, the Overground from FH/HOP is the quickest way from ED to get there on public transport and only ?1.30 (?1.40 peak) single on Oyster.

Oh, I know it's not a big deal to get there. I just find it hard to believe that a bus to FH followed by Overground is quicker than just getting on the train to London Bridge.


But then, I know that a lot of ED is not very close to ED station, either. Each to their own, I guess.

Afraid I can't help you with that. Is that still in London? Sounds ghastly! :-S

By the way folks, I believe good old Mary Portas' company 'Yellow Door'did a lot of work on Westfield at Shepherds Bush.


You know her; the one on TV showing us all how to look after and rejuvenate small local shops that are sooo important to the community! A world away from that hell hole in west London.


Cheers.

Actually there are plenty of excellent gift options in SE15 without resorting to these cliches.


You could buy some lovely handcrafted gifts including chess sets from Persepolis or even buy one of the shop owner's excellent cook books and get it personally signed.


Or you could visit Review Bookshop which often has signed first editions, along with a quirky selection of gifts.


Or if you have a sweet tooth, how about handmade chocolate at the Melange chocolate shop - you could even buy a gift voucher for a place on a chocolate making workshop.


Or you could pop into The Nuns Head this Saturday where they are having lots of local craftspeople and traders selling their wares all day with lots of gift buying opportunities.
