The 193 Steps...

Today when I arrived at Covent Garden tube station, I remembered how, as a student at St Martin's School of Art & late for college every morning, I used to sprint up the stairs, all 193 of them. (The equivalent of a 15 storey building I'm told.) I thought I would keep fit and do it again. Now I know the reason for this sign....

When I started college in 1983, I did the same thing, only I didn't have any choice since an art history class and elective in geography(!) were back-to-back within ten minutes, and I had to climb 120 stairs to get to the latter. Whew! I was rather preppy then, and with the tight crew neck sweaters it was murder. And thanks for the autographed copy of "Blue Mood" in Chicago, by the way.
