Question of the week: Do you have a favourite bus route? "Leaving aside for a moment my gratitude to the 24hr number 25, which has been able to get me to minimum-fare-taxi distance from everywhere I've ever lived in London, how about the 341, from City Hall to Seven Sisters. (The route actually carries on past there, but I've never been on the final leg.)
The #34 delivers a real cross section of London, from the big buildings and classic tourist London views as you cross the river on Waterloo Bridge, past my favourite dance venue, Sadlers Wells, through Islington, and into the areas of North London not troubled by tube connections - Stoke Newington, and the much loved Clissold Park (which is hosting a participatory sculpture installation this Saturday - DOG - which looks fab). From there, you head up past Finsbury Park, though Hackney and Tottenham to the Bernie Grant Arts Centre, another great venue for dance. This end of the route is a slice of 'average' London that most tourists will never visit."- Miss Alice
