Great. If Ian's late, they can buy some drugs and shag a hooker
while they're waiting.

Is it still used for that? Looks all very quiet when I cycle through
these days.

I wouldn't be so bold as to suggest that such things have vanished
from the surrounds of Kings Cross, but they certainly seem less
prevalent than in years gone by. That said, there's always the
possibility that some such goings on have just been dispersed to side
streets a bit further away, and I've come across a bit of evidence of
that, though as I'm not the kind of person who goes looking for such
evidence I'm not an oracle on such matters!

Kings Cross certainly feels like it's got something of an up and
coming vibrant night life scene, and not of the old school sordid
variety either.

There do seem to be far fewer examples of that odd inverse square law,
between skirt length and thigh diameter.

And if Ian's early??!!

There's a blue plaque or two you can look at.

Exactly - i think of everything!

They could even listen to the sound trail, if they bring their MP3
players:

Perhaps a more relevant example to this thread would be that other
inverse square law of motion - the walking speed of a group of people is
inversely proportional to the square of the number of people in it. :-)

I'm sure Mr Jelf has his techniques!

He's not only heard of it, he's done a lot of practical research on the
matter, including work in Oxford and Cambridge. (Who says we tour
guide types aren't academic??!!!)
