One of the more gentlemanly ways of approaching Camden Town is to climb aboard a hand-made racing bicycle and travel along the Regents Canal into Camden Lock. If you were to do this on a regular basis from West London you may spot a man who basically lives under a bridge not far from where the canal travels through the Zoo. Having whizzed past on said bicycle and seen this fella every morning usually doing a series of exercises and stretches before loading an old pram with everything he owns for the long walk into to the Lock, I started to wonder how he ended up under the bridge? and whether or not he might like a new pair of shoes? He seems to wear two odd sandals most of the time, so the last time I had a clear out, I stuffed a pair of almost new leather shoes into my back pack ready to offer to bridge man. The next morning I came to a stop under the bridge and asked him if by any chance he was a size 11? "No mate, size 7". "Ah" I said, feeling slightly foolish, "no worries" and cycled on.
