The World's Longest Escalator!

  • Article

It's been a long time since I wrote off-topic, but I have 30 minutes to kill in Copenhagen airport, so here's a quick weekend send-off.

This week I've been in London on business. I had a few minutes free on my way to a meeting on Wednesday, so I decided to take in some of the historic London sites.

Where did I go, you might ask.The British Museum? Buckingham Palace? The London Eye? (er, I mean the British Airways London Eye...)

Not me. I took a short trip on the tube to visit what is allegedly the longest escalator in Western Europe. Located in the Angel station on the Northern Line, this escalating marvel rises over nine stories high.

London not in your immediate travel plans? Don't worry, I brought the experience of this majestic escalator directly to your desktop through the magic of my video phone.

(Yes, I know the title of the post is misleading. I thought "The World's" made it sound more exciting...)
