"I used to do court clerking for a solicitors' firm in King's Cross - as a Summer vacation job. Happy days. When the partners were on their holidays, I used to find some excuse to walk to Oyez Corner pretty much every day. I'd also eat my lunch in Percy Circus, a very small patch of greenery close to King's Cross Station, enjoying the sun and trying to ignore the sort of sucking-on-a-cut-finger taste of all the traffic fumes. I did that for three Summers in a row."
