Mornington Crescent

A tale of the mundane life of commuters in London. See if you can spot all the references to a certain Radio 4 panel game!

The Lyttelton arms is a pub just outside Mornington Crescent tube station. I've been there, it was quite nice. No idea if they ever have live music, mind, so I'll just pretend they do.
