Pizza?

It is just possible that there is still a deal for students on pizza at the Strada chain of restaurants. There  is one in Covent Gardens.

On your way to eat, take note that:

On 12 September 1933 the Hungarian physicist Leó Szilárd, an exile form Nazi Germany, had an insight that changed the course of history as he crossed the pedestrian traffic lights at the junction of Southampton Row with Russell Square. He realised that splitting an atom with a neutron could produce further neutrons which could also split atoms leading to a chain reaction and a massive release of energy. This led directly to the development of the atomic bomb and nuclear energy.[3]

History is all around you!
