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

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

OverAndAbove · 26/10/2013 13:07

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.

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.....
