floor sanding Victoria

The romance of taking the boat train for a trip to the continent may have lost its edge since the Channel Tunnel opened - but embarking at Victoria can still feel like the first exciting step abroad.

Oscar Wilde was one who chose not to flee before his trial and paid the price. Why put off getting your natural wooden floors seen to? 
Turn down the lights or cover over with rugs and carpet if you will - but the marks and shabbiness will still be there...

All from THE VICTORIA FLOOR SANDING EXPERTS

Taking the last chance to save his life was the fate of the unfortunate Edwardian academic in M.R. James’ story, ‘Casting the Runes’.
He becomes the enemy of an evil alchemist and necromancer who seeks revenge when his research paper is rejected.  

Having unwittingly accepted the runes (a piece of paper with demonic scribbles), he has to return them in similar fashion before... the arrival of the foul fiend that has been summoned to deal with him.

The climax of the story occurs when the baddie embarks from Victoria station to go to Dover and the sanctity of France. Read James’ collected ghost stories for the ending!  

And also don’t miss ‘Night of the Demon’ from 1957 - based on the story and one of the very best British horror films.
