Out and about on one of my wanders the other day, traveling on foot between Euston Road and Pentonville Prison researching a Monopoly-themed blog post, I checked my Google Maps to find directions.
I couldn't help but notice that, when searching Pentonville Prison, Google provides us with not only a map but the option to read (or write) a review of the place…
3.1 stars out of 5. Not bad.I was intrigued enough to compare the 3.1 stars with other London prisons. The most famous of them all, Wormwood Scrubs, didn't fare so well…
… with a mere 2.7 stars, while Brixton came a creditable second with 3.0.My favorite detail on the Brixton Google listing is that it was closed…
… which should come as a relief to the law abiding citizens of SW2 and surrounding environs.
Our most recent London Walks Podcasts focus on London Crime & Punishment…
