Central London [51]

AAAA.281528Z DEC 2007 My flat was the the first floor in a new block behind Langham Place...The video takes a look at Langham Place through to Portland Place,London W1. at 2.35pm.28/12/2007 Now the book The Thirty-Nine Steps was written in 1915 by John Buchan. A good old-fashioned spy story and features Richard Hannay.. The three film versions of this story are not much cop !! Reading the book gives one a better command of the story and events. Now one must remember there was not the modern traffic to contend with...but in those days life still could be hectic at times as when one reads the book. The first view is of All Souls Langham Place a fine good evangelical church. Then the rather large Hotel. As it is a Fiction book there is no need to surmise as to where the flat mentioned in the book was ! Some people do this where did the author mean ? This is daft and rather pointless, so take the story as it is written. Now after the Hotel is Portland Place this leads up towards Park Crescent then by turning right one comes into the Euston Road past Euston Station [Modernised in the 1960`s] then on to St Pancras Station where Mr Hannay heads for Scotland....Now to tell any more would give the game away as they say....But as I mentioned the films are not a good portayal of the book....Now the first ever Cloak and Dagger story is written in the Word of God O/T JUDGES 3:12-30...This also needs to be read......AR
