Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:

A little diversion to get you warmed up on your way to hunt for the caches in Holland or Avondale Park. One of the very few places  in the area where you can drop off your (smaller) travel bugs.


On your way to Holland Park make a quick stop on a typical London mews street located just behind the Holland Park tube station. Mews used to be a row of stables, usually with carriage houses below and living quarters above, built around a paved yard or court, or along a street, behind large city houses. Lansdowne Mews was probably laid out in the late 1830s or early 1840s, when the houses south of it in Holland Park Avenue were erected. In 1863 the Holland Park Avenue houses had built themselves stables giving onto the mews at the bottom of their garden. Since then, the mews houses underwent considerable refurbishment as you can tell. Holland Park tube station's original building was typical of those designed by Harry Bell Measures for the stations of the Central London Railway that opened on 30 July 1900. It was given a flat roof in the hope that commercial development would take place on top, as at Queensway station, but so far this has not happened. The building was refurbished in the 1990s. If you have a small travel bug bring it with you, this is one of the few places within miles where you can drop one off. The Holland Park Avenue in this area is bustling and hustling so not only will you enjoy the atmosphere but also the travel bug will never stay too long.
