1) What's a good central area to stay in? We've identified some motels in We had an excellent time last year at a hotel caddy-corner from the Gloucester Rd station, fwiw. Tube and bus access was immaculate. If you'd like me to dig up the details, I can. What does "caddy-corner" mean? |

What does "caddy-corner" mean?
Diagonally across from. If I recall correctly, the Gloucester Road Tube station is on the southwest corner of the main intersection it fronts. Our hotel (the Montana, according to my travelog) would be on the northeast corner. Or, put another way, one could cross one street from the station to the nearby post office, then the intersecting street from the post office to the hotel. |
