Covent Garden used to irritate me. For two reasons.

First, the lift from the tube. I hated the noise in there. Did you hear the noise in that lift? You must have done. It would either be the sound of an irritating over-enthusiastic DJ from "Capital 95 point Great, mate"; a faux-Cockney from BBC local radio; or, peculiarly, a man with a peculiar atlantic accent best known these days for his cooking sauces. (I recommend Primavera. Mmm.)

Second, I hated the fact that one of my favourite places in London, the London Transport Museum, was shut. I used to bound over, get round the corner, and realise that... oh, it was shut. Still. Bah.

Thankfully, I think they've replaced the voice in the lift, and the London Transport Museum reopened in November 2007! Yay! Covent Garden no longer irritates me! (Apart from the scary heather ladies. But we'll not go into that).

Now, for reasons that are moderately unclear to me, apparently I might get these photos on the official London Transport Museum website, which would be nice, if I get some votes. To be clear, I need more votes than the other people. So I need you to vote. For me. Now. Please. Thanks.

To whet your appetite, I need to show you two of my favourite photographs. (I took plenty, but need to choose two). So, here's one.

This is a reel of destinations that used to show in the front of a bus, and now hangs from the museum roof. I was a particular fan that many places were described in terms of the local pub - The Eagle, the Red Lion, the Goldsmiths Arms: showing that the pub was then really the centre of the community.

And here's the famous Routemaster, with said black destination reel in the front window, causing quite a buzz with the visitors on the day I visited.

So, good. Go and vote for me, then. Please. Ta.
