great game though - the foxes being 3-2 up with 2 mins left on the clock - only for chelsea to steal 2 late goals in injury time....

never had to use it much. Last time I did was when I did 2 weeks with a mjor city law firm. Arrived 2 days after the bombs and stayed in a University Halls on Tavistock Square. The tube station I should have used to get to the office was Russell Square.
