Commentary
A morning walk from London Marylebone station through Mayfair to London Victoria. Takes in Oxford St then passes the US embassy in Grosvenor Sq. and walks through the “up market” Mount St area of Mayfair then across Piccadilly to Green Park. Finally, goes past Buckingham Palace and all its finery to finish at Bressenden Place, complete with massive urban regeneration project, just outside Victoria Station.
