A little Mornington Crescent - anyone care to join in?

[OverAndAbove]

I just fancy a change of focus.

I'll jump right in with Great Portland Street - I think I'm entitled to do that, with it being beyond the autumn equinox, but before Halloween?

Any takers?

Au Nidd, n'est-ce pas?

I'll be generous and say Colliers Wood.

au Nidd!! Of Course!

Now zat ah am free from ze Neeed ah 'umbly offerr, citing ze Morningtion Croissant rulez, Gare d'Austerlitz

Merci, Albert! I think you've avoided Nidd, actually, seeing as Lindquist is active. I certainly won't object if you make a play.

Zut alors!

Place de la Concorde

I don't do Crescent de Paris.

Selon les regles de Camus, je dirai:

Pyramides

Alors, HeadlessLady, not even to exercise ze leetle grey cells?

Oh Mon Dieu! Et bien, j'offre Poissoniere

Fishy, n'est-ce pas?

They almost had us there - like Napolean almost had us at

WATERLOO

tish tish...

Ah, back in Blighty.

Turnham Green

Maud, no, I'm an MC purist!

I give you...

a Rendell's Takeover to South Wimbledon.

Oh no, HeadlessLady, one has to open to new developments, such as the European (Free Movement) Rules and Headley-Barraclough 1987. Speaking of which, I offer you

Ruislip Manor

Well, I'm very happy to open my arms to Headley-Barraclough, I just don't like crossing the Channel...

I'm glad you made that last move. I didn't dare essay this one before, but now I can (bearing in mind Mukherjee 2004):

North Ealing.

Mukherjee 2004? Truly you are playing at an exceptionally inspired level tonight, HeadlessLady. My only riposte (bearing in mind the Treaty of Thripp) is

Wood Lane

You flatter me I love it

I'm saying Finsbury Park, and then I fear I have to go for the night. happy Crescenting while I'm gone!

Oh, and if anyone's thinking that the next move is easy, just let me say remember the Bristow Exception and look before you leap...

Bristow, ugh. I've learnt the hard way there. SO:

St Paul's

Hmmm. With Bristow in place for three moves I'm frustratingly restricted from St Pauls but as the board is still vertical I can see

WARREN STREET

Goodge Street

Right, I know Lanchester has gone right out of vogue, and I absolutely know why, but I'm going to pay a little homage to it (NOT follow it slavishly, let me be clear!) and say

Harringay Green Lanes

Cannock I knew you were not one for mawkish modernism but a Lanchester Pastiche has to be one of the the most beautifully parochial bits of MC I've seen in many a year. lovely

It would be remiss of me then, to not take this opportunity to follow such wonderful nuance, with a full-set vowel sledge to Mansion House

Nice, Albert.

For obvious Mackerel-related reasons, St John's Wood is the only possible follow-up.

Invoking Lanchester is real surprise - good move - but doesn't it cause an instant two notch sump?
In which case:
HOLLAND PARK

Thanks, Albert.

A two notch sump is no problem when the Bakerloo is trumps, and Holland Park there was, in any case, an inspired move.

Great Portland Street keeps me out of nip.

And from there to

Brixton

SPAM!

Sorry wrong game.

Euston Square
