My DP is just hanging out in Notting Hill now. He's been all over the place today, still not sure what he's going to do.

they are running bus services from the outskirts of central London outwards. You can't get on a bus travelling in to the centre, or within Zone 1 - so people could walk to the outskirts and pick up their bus?
