The Force Majeure II

I left NS a year ago after tiring of the:
Self-loathing Americans
All-knowing, self-righteous Canadians
Southern gun-nuts
Religious zealots
Pretentious atheists
14-year-old economic savants
People from Boston
But I decided to give it another shot and see that much is unchanged. So here's an uncontroversial thread:
Post where you live, using Google maps.
Well, don't do it exactly - as these posts show, there are some nuts out there
here goes:

LOL. TN is the post code for the nearby town of Tonbridge, in SE UK.
My commute is about 25 miles, I think (I've never measured it).

Capital letters always catch my eye first. The town is just as pretty as some in Tennessee, though. I like the little ponds to the north of town. Are they stocked? The golf courses look pretty inviting, too. Do you play?

This is Gustav Adolfs torg (Gustav Adolf's Square)... I work just off this...
