London so far has been wonderful. The unseasonably fabulous weather has put a spring in everyone's step (despite the sweaty, cramped mess that is the tube system in warm weather), and made seeing London and getting out and about a much more enjoyable experience. Job-hunting has been going fairly well so far, had a few interviews so we'll see where they take me...
This city is one of my favourites. It strangely reminds me immensely of Sydney; I just get that homely vibe. There's so much to see in London and having visited most of the traditional tourist sites previous times, my spare moments are spent exploring new areas and paths less-travelled by the everyday tourist. Camden markets were amazing; such a large variety of stalls and items, with a wonderful international food section, with stalls selling every meal from Spanish tapas and Brazilian barbecue, to Chinese stir fries and Dutch desserts. It was difficult process deciding what to have for lunch!
Although a well-known tourist area in London, you simply can't pass up shopping on Oxford Street. Every big brand can be found on this one long strip of road, accompanied by many more along Regent Street. I also absolutely love Hamley's toy store on Regent Street, the oldest toy store in England, I believe. It even sells the traditional, wind-up wooden toys as it would have back in it's early days!
And, of course, no trip to London would be complete without a visit to the brilliant Milkshake City on Woodhouse Road in Finchley. Able to create any combination of milkshake flavours under the sun, it's definitely worth the wait.
Anyway, here's a few pictures from London so far:
