You're on the right lines with foreign countries, but it's not an airport express. It does stop at Stratford Regional though.

And then take a 98 to Willesden Bus Garage, lamenting the fact that the number 7 no longer serves the British Museum. 98 to Russell Square just doesn't have the same ring to it.

From here, walk along Willesden Lane, cross the A5, continue along Gascony Avenue, Left, then Right, and you'll end up at The Rainbow Montessori School in Woodchurch Road. Clever, eh?
