What Is Happening to the Old Taxi Huts?

London used to have a load of little green huts that were for the use of taxi drivers. They could park up nearby and head inside for a brew and a rest. This was a big feature of the taxi driver routine. Now these huts are seemingly few and far between. They also seem to have been repurposed. This example is in Russell Square. It is still providing a brew but now it is a small business catering to everyone in the area. I wonder whether any of the huts are still in use in their original form?

Remote Location For A Getaway

The Watchman Peak overlook at Crater Lake site beneath a peak.  I don’t know the name of it but I am going to make a guess that it is Watchman Peak.  Sitting on the top of it is a small stone hut.  (It is possible that it isn’t small and that the distance just makes it look that way – Father Dougal, are you listening?). It was surrounded by snow so access looked pretty tricky but, if you want to go somewhere to avoid the masses for a while, I would think this place would do the trick – particularly in winter!
