Warsaw on foot. Almost none of it survived, and what is left is there to show you what is not.
What is missing
Category: Travel
Two arrows
A last day in London: three centuries of church, one pearly king, and marks in the kerb.
In the wild
Bench marks in the wild from St James’s to Drury Lane, plus a goose with a gorget.
Catered for 35
A hundred and fifty years of Alexandra Palace Lodge, marked in a garden off St James’s.
Three clubs
A day in St James’s. Three clubs before lunch, then arrows cut into the stonework.
Then, now, always
An evening at the French embassy, and the long way back to the Island.
Under the virtues
A fife and drum corps, four hundred at dinner, and a floor finished by feet.
A piece of the wall
Truman’s ring, the floor of the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court.
The gavel
A borrowed collar, the gavel that laid the Capitol’s cornerstone, and the first English lodge here in two centuries.
We the People
A seven o’clock coach for a ten minute walk, and a founding document nobody can read.
