Friday 9 July 2010: CrossRail is coming to the Astoria. This photograph was taken into the setting sun through the dusty window of a no.19 bus. In the right-background is the rear aspect of St. Patrick's RC Church situated on the east side of Soho Square at the corner of Sutton Row. Part of the topmost branches of a tree may be seen between the buildings.
