here by car, or by rail (via Wolverton, home of
the Royal train), by bus, or by bike - though
please use a warning instrument when coming up
behind anyone on pedestrian pavements. It would be colourful if
people could arrive in horse drawn mailcoaches,
as in the days when their passengers swapped Cock
& Bull stories in our ancient inns. But the old
stables tend to have been converted into theme restaurants, eg as with the Bull's
Mexican restaurant, Las Cuadras (The Stables).

Check
in at one of the hotels festooned with
international quality insignia, a friendly pub, or one of the congenial
family run bed and breakfast
establishments. Stony might even be styled the
(respectable) Soho, or Montmartre of Milton Keynes - at least in terms of its
traditional atmosphere, its ethnic variety of restaurants
and the
Bohemian character of some inhabitants on this
Left Bank of the Ouse, with its artists,
musicians, writers and such.

evening activity could be mingling with the
natives in a real
ale bar, and then selecting a late
night takeaway from one of the exotic
establishments where academic-haunted Wolverton
Road meets the southern end of the High Street. |
