The London School of Economics - Alumni room.

 I’m at the LSE Alumni room enjoying a coffee, before lunch at Romano’s restaurant at 12.15. There are only six students here and one older chap and probably an endemic. They are all from their appearance from the Indian subcontinent. They are mainly women, working intensively at their Apple laptops. The LSE has in recent years become the leading university in the country, taking over from Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrew’s universities. We are fortunate in this country having so many outstanding places to study. I was here as a student, way back in the autumn of 1971 - some 55 years ago. The immediate environment is comprised of brand new buildings with outstanding facilities. The Old Building, is no more and in its place is a steel and glass building, where Im having coffee. The Shaw Library, is still there and probably the best place to go and relax on large comfortable sofas, surrounded by books with a grand piano in the far corner. I remember coming here and - chillaxing many years ago.
