Perhaps a last opportunity for some photo's?

Remember this well from when I worked in India Buildings back in the 80's: finish work at 5pm, down in the lift, into the subway and leg it right down to the platform in 4" stilletoes, briefly pausing to flash my Zone Ticket to the man in the kiosk, just making the 5.05 Hooton Train.

If I tried to do that now, I'd keel over (oh, to be a young whippersnapper again!).
