Itās easy see in London that it was once the centre of the world. The buildings are magnificent. Theyāve also built an iconic new skyline over last 20 years while the country went to shit.
The scale of the place means people are very comfortable being who they want to be. Anonymity of a very big city I guess but itās more prevalent there than other similar cities.
Iād say it was alright, I havenāt read the books or seen the movies so not really my cup of tea but an interesting look at how they make those big budget movies.
Highlight of today was the description of the Chili soya in this (absolutely outstanding) Indian restaurant we ate in a while ago, the price was next to it
Weāre staying out by Twickenham, it was an Indian restaurant in Hounslow, it was full of Sikhs and a massive amount of guys who I assume are observing Ramadan, Hounslow is about 70% Indian Iād say, the food was off the charts, I donāt recall the name.
We went to the Science museum today, my God what a place.
Iād say I could spend two weeks solid in there, Iād need a wheelchair I suppose as itās extremely tiring browsing,
The kids donāt have my stamina for that kind of thing, so we had some extremely fancy buns in Knightsbridge, a lovely Japanese meal by Spitalfields then, we thought the market there was open till 8 but they were packed up by 6.
The Time Out market is cool enough with a clatter of good food options. Itās a lovely city to stroll aimlessly around for a few hours as well, from the big gardens up at the top of the city all the way down to the water
