The men here wear bands round their arms with a crown on to show that they have either been refused or waiting to be called up.
Went to Elephant & Castle and don't think it a nice neighbourhood.
We then went through Hyde Park and were disgusted with it. It is only a fenced in paddock. There is an anti aircraft barracks there. In Hyde Park is the Serpentine and running alongside of it is Rotten Row where the upper class drive on Sunday. While on the farther side is the Marble Arch.
