I haven’t had many thrilling walks lately, so decided to count the steps, upward and downward, in a typical working day.
Here's the tally...
Totteridge & Whetstone tube entrance (street level) to Northern Line platform (southbound): down 32 steps.
Exchange at King's Cross from Northern Line (Bank branch) to Piccadilly Line (westbound) via broken escalator: up 32 steps.
Exit from Earl’s Court station to street level – lift to “ticket hall level”, so no steps, then up 8 steps to the way out.
Entrance from pavement to Tesco on A4 to buy lunch: up 5 steps.
Exit from Tesco to pavement to head for office: up 6 steps.
Going from pavement to business area: down 29 steps to security door, then up 10 steps to where the offices start.
Pavement to office: up 21 steps.
Lunchbreak: office to pavement: down 21 steps.
Browsing in Waterstones: down 20 steps, up 20 steps.
End of lunchbreak: pavement to office again: up 21 steps.
End of day: office to pavement: down 21 steps.
Business area to pavement: down 10 steps to security door, then up 29 steps to the main road.

09/07/18: Earl's Court posters and stickers
Roaming around Earl's Court and West Kensington, I see various signs and messages.
1. "I demand a vote on the final Brexit deal"
You can demand all you like, but it doesn't mean that you'll get what you want. Clearly the government has no idea whatsoever what to do and is ploughing ahead with the myth that the 51.9% knew what they were voting for. In fact, the day I took this picture the Cabinet imploded with the high-level resignations. Who know what will happen? Certainly not Theresa May.
2. "You know where you are? You're in the jungle, baby."
I became oddly obsessed with this massive poster advertising the reissue of a Guns N' Roses album from 1987. Never cared for the group or their lousy music, but this huge slogan on the A4 is so daft that it really grabbed my attention.
3. "Florence + The Machine – High As Hope"
Less eye-catching than the above, but interesting to see that music is getting such big promotion these days.
