Getting Away from Other People

[Wednesday 1st September]
There was some sort of work offsite this afternoon, I think it was a kind of "treasure hunt" across London. Sounded like fun, but alas I'm far too busy to be having fun during working hours. Some of the people who had been on it had ended up in a pub (The Old Bank of England) so some time after 7 I went and joined them there. I didn't stay long, for some reason I wasn't really enjoying being surrounded by people from work.

So after a bit I snuck around the corner to the Seven Stars, and bathed in it's four-century-old-wondrousness for a while. From there I went on a bit of a meandering stroll, and somehow ended up in St. James's, where I popped into the Red Lion. I was in a decidedly anti-social mood today, having already left the first pub in preference of my own company, I found the Red Lion quite annoying with all it's suit wearing American businessmen talking about which college they went to and which companies they'd worked for. I really just wanted to get away from people altogether - or at least people that reminded me of work, which had become quite stressful of late.
