I'm with L.E., Walter. The Brits know their Bard, and to narrow it further:

The Oxfordshire Cotswolds is ideally located between Oxford to the East, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick to the North, and Bath, Gloucester and Cheltenham to the West. The A40 crosses the area, with excellent links to the A34 and M40 main routes, providing easy access to the rest of the UK.

Is he right?

Nah, that's far away from NE London, Letty.

I think that it's somewhere in, or near Epping?

No I'm not, I'm sitting in my dining room, trying to have a private yet furious google session.

It's not Q.E 1's hunting lodge, is it?

They must've repainted it, since I last saw it in 1926.

How do I answer such a question?

Nevertheless, it's QE's Hunting Lodge.

(Btw: Epping Forest is owned and managed by the Corporation of London.)


Your turn, LE.

Someone took the virtual tour? :wink:

I was hoping it would be a quick one, as I have to go and walk the dog before it gets too dark.
