In January, London lost the famed Astoria venue to make way for the Crossrail project to much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Fewer people noticed that, in the same month, the Wheatsheaf pub at Borough Market (probably the second best in that area, after the mighty Royal Oak) also shut its doors, to make way for the expansion of the Thameslink network. Pretty soon London's rail connections will be the envy of Europe, but there won't actually be anywhere to go when you get here.
