A little Mornington Crescent - anyone care to join in?

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?

Ah yes. How could I have forgotten such a recent controversy? From Mansion House, the next step must be

Ongar

Inertia · 26/10/2013 11:07

Don't want to fall foul of either Hagrid or Peckforton so will play it safe with Plaistow.

Curioustiger · 26/10/2013 11:30

South Kensington!

StayAwayFromTheEdge · 26/10/2013 11:37

Which leads nicely to Tooting Beoadway...

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/10/2013 11:38

Hmm

Seven Sisters

Well, I'm back now from my little "enforced rest" on the Circle Line, so I'll follow that up with Kings Cross

Gosh, been out of the game for a short 12 hours and the Tooting Broadway/Seven Sisters/Kings Cross Tri-Monte Initiative has already been played.

so Archway

Curioustiger · 26/10/2013 14:33

Archway, mrs William? Really?

I'm afraid you leave me no choice but Highgate.

WinningBread · 26/10/2013 15:40

I was waiting for Highgate....

Tottenham Court Road!!!!

sapfu · 26/10/2013 15:41

Hampstead Heath.

StayAwayFromTheEdge · 26/10/2013 15:41

As we appear to have moved to the much famed Trumpington Variation I give you...

Barbican

(I'm not sure the late Humph would approve of some of play today - Tudor Court rules have been broken on more than one occasion).

Clayhanger · 26/10/2013 16:02

If it wasn't for the bloody Trumpington variation I could have bluffed you with Euston, but you'd all have seen straight through it.
Because I tend towards the Badiou school of play (any others out there? We're a dwindling band), I'm going to opt for simplicity and reverse to Mansion House.

MrsWilliamBodie · 26/10/2013 16:09

rocketeer · 26/10/2013 16:21

Too early in the day for Embankment?

Quick woman, quick, the board is wide open

sapfu · 26/10/2013 17:57

Oxford Circus

(non viable northern line variation move)

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/10/2013 18:12

Ooh, I've been waiting for someone to play Oxford Circus. It sets me up nicely for my favourite gambit

Russell Square

StayAwayFromTheEdge · 26/10/2013 18:26

Would Upminster Bridge be considered too remote at a weekend?

Curioustiger · 26/10/2013 18:28

Well I think so stayaway but we can't all be purists. Moorgate.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/10/2013 18:29

In that case, Westminster.

sapfu · 26/10/2013 18:56

Northwick Park

TodgerDodger · 26/10/2013 19:00

Northwick Park? The Blenheim method?

May I butt in with Baker Street?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 26/10/2013 19:03

My DD, who is more au fait with recent revisions and restatements of the rules, has suggested

Sloane Square

sapfu · 26/10/2013 19:07

Nope, TD, the Rushton manoeuvre.

But seeing as you brought up Blenheim.....
