There are certain locations which used to fill me with horror as to how I was going to work out the logistics of getting my equipment in and out for a course. And today's was one of those for which I would have looked on a map and shuddered. Take Liverpool Street, Aldgate and Bank (in the City of London) and my location is right in the middle of them. In fact it has turned out to be next door but one to "The Gherkin", and up an narrow alley, black tarmac with decorative yellow lines painted down both sides.But these days .. such locations aren't a big problem; they're even easier than a typical science park or trading estate. For all courses within London's congestion zone these days, I stay at a hotel a short way out, and grab a cab to get in; the equipment and my trolley comes "with" and I arrive on the doorstep, no car to park, and chauffeured-fresh on the first morning.
The evening, and subsequent mornings? I make good use of the local public transport to and from my hotel if it's not in walking distance.
Result? A fresh tutor and a really great Deploying Java Applications course given in the heart of the City of London.
