205 to Bow Church ;-) - but spot on with the location.  Pictured on a wonderful summer day last year in London, with four of our guests from Ukraine seated at the front, headed off to Baker Street.

You must have been on diversion Smiley. The 205 normally crosses Edgware Road coming out of Praed Street and runs beside the subsurface Underground station before joining Marylebone Road.

I am getting old and confused - the memory fades.  Perhaps it was the second London trip we caught that we started off on the 205 to see Sherlock's place ... let me look at the original picture ....

Edit - yep, you're right - I thought I had clipped off the "205" from the display above Olesia and Daria's heads but in fact it was "Edgware Road / Praed Street" I had cut off.

8. Portsmouth, The Hard Interchange.

There's a pub just around the corner where I had a really nice curry many moons ago, The George, but google says it's temporarily closed, unfortunately.

Blimey, I should have spotted that....I was only there twice this last week.  Never mind,  I'll suggest Temple Meads for No.3 instead.
