The whole journey to Victoria was like that. From the window of the bus the familiar
streets took on a strange visual clarity and resonance of association. He felt that he was seeing
them for the first time as they really were, that he was responding with all his senses to the
special character of South-East London, its soiled, worn textures of brick and stone, its low,
irregular skyline, its odours of breweries and gas and vegetables and tanneries. He noticed
how old and neglected it all was: if you raised your eyes above the modern shop-fronts, you
saw that they had been pasted on to buildings crumbling into decay, with cracked, grimy
windows and broken-backed roofs and chipped chimney pots. The predominant colours were
black, brown and a dirty cream. Guinness tints. Those were the tints to use if you were to try
and paint it and he was suddenly filled with the urge to try.
He felt strangely stirred; and it seemed more than ever foolish to be going abroad for
that was the point of going away, wasnt it, to see your home with a fresh eye when you
returned? But the bus rolled on inexorably to Victoria. Now it was skirting the Oval. From the
top of the bus he could see over the wall, but play hadnt started yet. Groundsmen were taking
the covers off the wicket, and the scoreboard showed the overnight score: Surrey 247 all out,
and Northants 21 for 1. The bus left the oval behind, swept under the railway arches at
Vauxhall and turned on to Vauxhall Bridge. A pleasure boat passed beneath them ferrying
people from the Festival of Britain on the South Bank to the Festival Gardens at Battersea.
Vauxhall was not the most impressive place at which to cross the Thames the buildings here,
except for the Tate Gallery, were undistinguished. But the river glinted prettily in the sunlight,
and downstream you could see Lambeth Bridge and the Houses of Parliament, and beyond
them the great expanse of London with the dome of St. Pauls shimmering in the haze.
