Historic Hatch End Station and Britain's Best Blooms

 

Flowers on Hatch End station. Cross the bridge for this pretty platform for trains into London, Euston, via Harrow & Wealdstone. The waiting room is a refuge in winter. You could change to the underground by crossing the platform at Queens Park, and then continue on to Baker Street. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.

The platform for trains to Watford for shopping.

In Singapore I can get an underground train in under ten minutes. Ironically, everywhere except the branch to the airport, Changi, where you really want to hurry. In London, England, (not London in Canada), you can get frequent trains from Pinner Met (Metropolitan) line. However, if you don't read the timetable, dilly dally looking for lost doorkeys, repacking your handbag, going back for an umbrella, and miss a train at Hatch End station, at least you have the lovely flowers to look at, especially colourful on a sunny summer day. Britain at its best.  If waiting around for trains is not your favrouite thing, you can follow the map on the wall of the platform pictured, reading   which is the side for the trains to bustling Watford with its indooreadi shopping mall and many outdoor shops. If you don't live in Hatch End and want to escape,
