I've been back from London for about two weeks and I still cannot get this vibrant city out of my head. I do not remember being this besotted with London when I paid my first visit to the city four years ago. Perhaps that could be due to the fact that I spent most of my time in central and west London. However, this time around, my dearest and best friend took me around north and east London which I have to say, are the best bits of this mesmerising metropolis. Brick Lane, Camden Town, Kentish Town, Hackney and Hammersmith. Although some of these places may be on the dangerous and edgy side of life, they are incredibly beautiful and stunning in their own right. Oh and did I mention just how beautiful and stunning the men in the East were? My word. I was blown away. Most of them seemed to be models or struggling somethings of some sort, which on most days I would not be massively fussed about, but it was London and I somehow found that quite appealing.
I ate all sorts of interesting cuisines - mostly from the side of the road and those dodgy-looking fried chicken joint selling veggie burgers, among other things. I did the tourist-y things such as taking photos near Buckingham Palace and Oxford Circus but yes, it was sublime. People in Britain may dislike the diversity of London and state that the city has become 'unBritish', but I feel as though THAT is what draws so many foreigners to the place. There seems to be a place for everyone. Moreover, the transport system as well as the club, pub, bar, fashion and cafe scene is way more exciting than what you would find in Burnley, for example (no offence to anyone from there). It's a pulsating city and I plan on making far more visits there in the near future.
Innit bruv? :)
