London

First, google this:  Ramsey Rd, 8AZ.  That was my final destination.
Now, google this:  Acton Town Station, London.  That is where I started
I arrive in Heathrow International this morning a little before six am.  The flight, via Toronto, was decently pleasant- props to Air Canada.  After spending a bit of time at the airport trying to sort of contacts here, I decided to take off for London.  Boarding the underground, I took the Piccadilly line to Acton Town station.  My final destination was Ramsey Rd, W3.  From there took a right on Bollo Ln and then a left on Bollo Bridge Rd.  After taking a right on Palmerston Rd I crossed the tracks and proceeded on Kingswood Rd which turns into Cunnington St.  At Parade I took a left to walk around the park.
At this point, I have been walking for a while.  I had a forty plus pound backpack on and a twenty-five plus pound hand bag.  All this while I've been asking people which way to go.  I paid 20p for the rest room and after asking a traffic police where to go, started up Beaconsfield Rd which turns in to Acton Ln.  I asked a man where Ramsey Rd might be.  He, being the only one apparently, knew the street.  So I continued on Acton Ln.  Under the bridge and took the the second left on Leythe Rd.  I asked another innocent person for directions and he sent me back around to take first left.  Now I'm back on Bollo Bridge Rd.  The first left is Ramsey.  I was finally there.
About an hour and a half prior, I was three blocks away.  My feet are a little sore and my hip hurts.
That's just the beginning...
