There are a number of inaccessible places in London, like Little Compton Street, which can now be seen under a grille.
(Removed later: A bad link to a picture)
There is also believed to be an old street under Oxford Street's HMV when the river was higher-the Victoria High Street. It can be reached (or some of it can) by a hole under Selfridges apparently. There was also a Tiger Street, which was always underground so is probably best described as a subway situated in the Tiger Club (now gone).

| I love the fact that your link is inaccessible (only due to faulty formatting, mind). |

| I was trying to format it when you replied. Couldn't you have given me a minute? |

| The most inaccesible place is that bit on your back which really itches but is too low down if you try to reach it from the top and too high up if you try to reach it from the bottom. |

Anywhere you want to get to in Stoke-on-Trent.
All the places you don't want to get to are easily accessible. But not the one you want, whatever it is. |

Coventry.
Whoever put up the roadsigns evidently had the attention span of a newt. Whoever made the road plans had the planning ability of a newt. Whoever decided not to label junctions from the ringroads had the brains of a newt |

In my younger days I knew* a few young women who were totally inaccessible to me.

*Perhaps to be more accurate, I did not know them |

Or at any rate, not in the biblical sense. |

This has me quite worried for my impending move there. Perhaps I'll never make it! |
